Porterhouse reverse sear question
Comments

As you probably know the portion of meat closest to the bone cooks the slowest. It is hard to keep the edge of the meat from overcooking while you wait for the portion next to the bone to heat up. So, the lower your roasting temperature, the better off you will be. I usually cook Porterhouses caveman style and just accept that some of the edge meat will be a little overdone, the majority of the meat will be medium (my goal) and the portion next to the bone will be a little more rare that I find ideal, but still excellent. Over the years I have found that if the filet portion has some size to it (which defines the Porterhouse vs the T-bone) then it is the filet side that is usually (but not always) least cooked. However, on T-bones which have a smaller filet it is usually the strip.
So, ideally you probably want a Thermopen to check both.

i would pay more attention to the strip side as it toughens up quickly after 125. i dont usually cook porterhouse and buy the tbone or sometimes they will cut that fillet off for me and call it a 7 bone stripsteak
