The T-bone steak owes its name to the T-shaped bone. It is the perfect combination of a rump steak and fillet. It can be cooked wonderfully in a pan or on the grill. The cooking time takes a little longer due to the bone, but it is worth the wait as it gives off additional flavour.
Meat knowledge
Alongside the Porterhouse steak, the T-bone steak is probably one of the biggest highlights for barbecue fans. The reasons for this are obvious: firstly, the T-bone steak's distinctive bone makes it a real eye-catcher, and secondly, it is the perfect combination of tenderloin and rump steak. This makes the T-bone steak perfect for sharing with friends and enjoying together.
The imposing bone of the T-bone steak gives it a wonderful meaty aroma and makes steak lovers rave. It is also where the steak gets its name. As this is a very generous piece of meat, it should be cooked before or after cooking.Two steaks in one: the T-bone steakThere are two pieces of steak in this steak, which makes it perfect. The small, tender tenderloin and the slightly larger sirloin. In Austria, the lung roast and the Beiried. The connoisseur, on the other hand, speaks of the entrecote and the fillet.
Perfectly cooked, the T-bone steak is a juicy, finely marbled delight. The combination of the two types of meat also makes for a refreshing change on the barbecue. The meat is separated from the T-bone, giving it extra flavour.
T-bone steak or porterhouse steak?What's the difference?
Both types of steak have an impressive bone and consist of two types of meat. However, a Porterhouse steak has more tenderloin and less roast beef. A T-bone steak is the other way round.
The division of the two steaks, or the decision as to whether it is a porterhouse or a T-bone steak, therefore depends on the size of the fillet portion. If the fillet is larger than 3.2 cm, it is called a porterhouse steak, and if it is larger than 1.2 cm, it is called a classic T-bone steak.
Fitmeat T-bone steak from the calf (heifer)Our T-bone steaks come from the Austrian heifer and have a wonderfully tender texture and marbling. Combined with an unmistakable flavour that develops through the high degree of movement, the T-bone steaks are a highlight for barbecue fans.
What is so special about the T-bone steak from the calf (heifer)?
A veal calf or heifer is a female cow that has not yet calved. The meat has a beautiful dark red colour and very fine fibres. The meat also has a special marbling which enhances the flavour.
This is due to the slow growth of the calves, which ensures a particularly fine fat deposit. The combination of well-distributed fat in the muscles and dry curing gives veal a distinctly full-bodied flavour.

Herkunft und Haltung
Quality is our top priority and, when it comes to beef, a few factors are crucial. These include the perfect breed of cattle, the age of the animals and optimum feeding, free from concentrated feed.
However, this alone is not enough to meet our requirements. We don't do things by halves when it comes to the quality of our meat products! That's why 100% of our animals come from Austria. The farms are located in the lake district of the Salzkammergut in beautiful Upper Austria.
At Fitmeat, we also only process the finest meat from heifers, also known as calves, and steers. The meat has a wonderful marbling and a delicious flavour. Our classic cattle breeds also include Red-Angus, Black-Angus, Charolais, Limousin, White-Blue Belgian and Wagyu, as well as various crossbreeds.
Our cattle are 4x AT labelled. This means that birth, rearing, slaughter and cutting take place 100% in Austria. The value chain therefore remains entirely in Austria. We distance ourselves from long animal transports and select our partners very carefully. We therefore rely on animals that are kept in a species-appropriate manner, born and raised by small farmers, and on butchers who know both the farmer and the animal personally.
Our butchers allow the cuts to mature on the bone for a long time. This gives us first-class, well-hung meat that does not lose any water during roasting and can be enjoyed with a clear conscience.
