Description
What is a pork T-bone steak?
A pork T-bone is a bone-in steak cut from the loin. The T-shaped bone separates the main loin muscle from a possible tenderloin (fillet) section. The size of that section depends on where the steak is cut, so do not expect a fixed or generous fillet portion in every steak.
What is in the pack?
This product is sold as two pork T-bone steaks, 14oz each (approximately 400g per steak and around 800g for the pack at nominal weight). The number of steaks is two; natural weight and the amount of meat on either side of the bone can vary.
How to cook thick pork T-bones
Pat the pork dry, season it and brown the surface in a preheated heavy frying pan or over direct heat on the BBQ. Then lower the heat or move the steaks to a cooler, indirect area of the BBQ to cook through without burning the outside. You can finish thicker steaks in the oven after browning.
Cook pork thoroughly. Check the centre of the thickest meat with a clean probe thermometer, avoiding the bone. UK Food Standards Agency guidance gives 70°C for two minutes, or an equivalent safe combination of temperature and time. Do not rely on a fixed number of minutes per side. Rest briefly before serving.

Pork T-bone or TomaPork?
The T-bone comes from the loin and has a T-shaped bone with a variable fillet section. A TomaPork chop has a long rib bone and is a different cut.
