Just a T-Bone and Salad

Today was a double eggin day. The MIL came for lunch and we had partial deboned spatch chicken. It was good but no pics,so it didn't happen.
Now for supper. I had a 1 1/2" thick T-Bone rubbed with SPOG(Very course ground on the salt). Reverse seared. Put it on the small at 250 with oak & cherry for smoke till it hit 135ish. The color seemed different on this one. More mahogany than usual.
Pulled and loosely tented it while the egg reached 600ish for a few minutes. Then seared for 60secs a side both directions.
And plated with a nice fresh salad and a homemade dressing.
I have to say that the combination of oak and cherry was awesome on this steak. Kinda had a hint of vanilla to the taste. Maybe I've not been using enough smoke in the past but I flooded this one with smoke from the beginning, almost to the point I was scared I might over smoke it. Mrs3969 said, best steak ever!!!

I'm gonna show my meat cutting ignorance here and ask why is it a porterhouse? Not doubting you a bit but I bought it as a T Bone.

That's some mighty fine looking beef brother. For the record, Porterhouse and T bone are both cut from the same short loin. To be labeled Porterhouse, the fillet must measure 1 & 1/2 inch thick or greater. A T-bone must measure 1/2 inch to 1 & 7/16 thick. This is the only differnce in the two. If these numbers have changed, then I will stand corrected. I haven't kept up with it in years but I feel they are still the same. Again, great looking grub.

The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out. -

When I buy T bone I always make sure to dig through the case to get the ones with the biggest fillet. Porterhouse are always more expensive per pound so I can save a little and still get the fillet I want. This may be the only upside to buying steak at a supermarket rather than a butcher.
