My favorite porter house steaks were the ones my uncle, a butcher used to cut for Dad 1 1/2" thick and as large as a dinner plate, close to 2 pounds, I'd guess. I could never eat one now. Filets I like 1 1/2 to 2" but a small 6 oz. is plenty for me. When I get hungry for steak now a rib eye is my choice. Don
