T-bone steak is a smaller version of the Porterhouse, which has more tenderloin beef attached to the bone. The difference between the two is the amount of meat.

Before grilling, allow your porterhouse steak to come to room temperature. Generously season both sides of the steak and sear for 5 minutes on each side over direct high heat. Let the steak rest at least 10 minutes after grilling before you slice it.
Grill 1.25 pound porterhouse steaks for 5 minutes on each side over high heat until the internal temperature reaches at least 130 degrees Fahrenheit. Larger steaks will need more time on the grill.
