Porterhouse and T-bone steaks contain a large section of strip and a smaller section of tenderloin. Since both sides must be cooked together, it's better to select a temperature and time based on the side you like to eat better. For me, I'll optimize cooking time and temperature for the strip. It means my tenderloin comes out slightly more cooked than I generally prefer, but the insulating bone helps it stay plenty moist and juicy.Very Rare to Rare: 120°F / 49°C to 128°F / 53°C;1 to 2 1/2 hoursMedium-rare: 129°F / 54°C to 134°F / 57°C;1 to 4 hours*Medium: 135°F / 57°C to 144°F / 62°C;1 to 4 hoursMedium-well: 145°F / 63°C to 155°F / 68°C; 1 to 3 1/2 hoursWell done: 156°F / 69°C and up; 1 to 3 hours *2 1/2 hours max if under 130°F / 54°C
