After the beautiful pics of the Rib Eye Steak Dinner by 10.5, my wife and I wanted some steak. After her bi-weekly trip to Costco, she brought home these beauties.

After one hour cold smoke , it was onto the hot grill to rare/med-rare. My wife made some fresh chopped salad, and baked potatoe with butter,sour cream, and chives. Oh yes, there was some homemade wine, but it didn't make it to the photo. ;D ;D It made for a nice evening.

That looks great.
Lets hear some more about the wine.
That is a beautiful looking meal.
Let's hear more about the enjoyable evening. ;D
There's a tear of happiness slowly rolling down my cheek. That's beautiful man!!!!!!
Looks good OH. My wife and I have a taste for beef but I doubt we could knock off even one of those. :(
CRG - imagination is a beautiful thing. The wine, well that is a long story. Maybe pics next time.
Gotta love those grill marks. Looks great!
Awesome. Looks Great!
Now that's a true piece of beauty! Magnificent!
Those are some fine looking T-bones, my favorite.
My guess is Porterhouse. There's a lot of loin next to the bone.
In any case, I'd be more than happy to eat 'em ;D
The label looks to be T-bone,
but one is forsure porterhouse.
Those are BOTH porterhouse...
One has a smaller tenderloin side - but ain't neither of 'em a T-Bone.
Look at the "silver" untrimmed from the edges...
True.
He got Porters for T-Bone prices.
Plus he had homemade wine!
Helufa deal. ;D
I'm getting hungry. Got some BBQ beef tenderloin in the fridge. Naw, I'll just go to bed. :(
OMG, that is one beautiful dinner! Picture is very nicely composed and I got the drool buckets out.

I admit those look like porters-- but they were labeled and priced as T-Bone. In any case they were delicious. The loin side was awsome.
Labels get misused a lot. In the U.S. the tenderloin dimension distinguishes the two. USDA IMPS guidelines are as follows: a T-bone the width tenderloin portion must be a minimum of 1/2 inch at the thickest part (measured parallel to the vertebrae at the end); the porterhouse must be at least 1.25 inches. Unless my eyes are deceiving me those steaks "officially" qualify as porterhouse, but can legitimately be labeled as T-bone.

Thanks for the good info BLSH. I obviously lucked out on the labeling by the Butcher at Costco. :-X ;D
