Cattlemen’s Steakhouse Why Folks Love the Porterhouse Steak
If you’re eyein’ the porterhouse on the menu, you’re lookin’ at one of the biggest, boldest steaks we serve. It’s a true cowboy classic — a hefty cut that gives you the best of both worlds. On one side, you’ve got a tender filet mignon, and on the other, a juicy strip steak, all held together by that signature T-shaped bone.
Here at Cattlemen’s, we don’t just grab any ol’ beef. We source our steaks from local ranchers right here in Oklahoma — folks we’ve worked with for generations who take pride in raising cattle the right way. Then, we hand-butcher and slow-age every steak in-house to bring out the deep, rich flavor you can’t fake.
So if you're hungry and want a little bit of everything on your plate, the porterhouse might just be your go-to. It's the kind of steak you order when you're not messin’ around.
The porterhouse is perfect for folks who want the full steakhouse experience on one plate. If you're the type who’s torn between ordering a filet or a strip or just have a serious appetite, this one’s for you. It’s big, it’s flavorful, and it’s meant for someone who came ready to eat.
Cattlemen’s Steakhouse Why Folks Love the Ribeye Steak
The ribeye is a fan favorite at Cattlemen’s — and for good reason. This cut is known for its rich marbling, which means every bite is packed with juicy, beefy flavor. Unlike leaner cuts, the ribeye has those ribbons of fat running through it that melt down during cooking, giving you a tender, flavorful steak that’s hard to beat.
If you’re someone who loves a bold, buttery taste and don’t mind a little extra richness, the ribeye might just be your steak soulmate. It’s less about lean and more about flavor — the kind that lingers in the best way.
This one’s great for folks who want a satisfying, no-frills steak that brings big flavor with every bite. Whether it’s your first time at Cattlemen’s or you’re a regular who knows what they like, the ribeye always delivers. It’s the kind of cut that doesn’t need much dressing up — just a fork and maybe a little room for dessert.
Big Appetites Call for Big Flavor, Choosing the Right Sides for Steak
When you order a steak at Cattlemen’s, the right side dish can take it from great to unforgettable. For the porterhouse, you’re gonna want something hearty to match its size — think our baked potato loaded up just how you like it or a side of crispy onion rings. The porterhouse already gives you two steaks in one, so pair it with sides that hold their own without stealing the show.
Now, if you go with the ribeye, a little balance goes a long way. This steak’s already rich and full of flavor, so something like our fresh house salad or grilled vegetables makes a great partner. If you’re feelin’ extra, the cheesy au gratin potatoes hit the spot without overwhelming the ribeye’s buttery goodness.
Whether you like your plate classic or a little more dressed up, there’s a side at Cattlemen’s that’ll hit the mark.
Steak & Sips Choosing the Right Drink for the Porterhouse or Ribeye Steak
Every good steak deserves a good drink, and at Cattlemen’s, we’ve got a few local favorites that pair just right.
For the Cattlemens famous Porterhouse Steak, go bold with a glass of full-bodied red wine like a cabernet or malbec — something with enough backbone to stand up to the size and flavor of that steak. If wine’s not your thing, our locally brewed Double Duce Beer is a crowd favorite. It’s smooth, a little malty, and goes down easy next to a big cut of beef.
Now for the Cattlemens famous Ribeye Steak, its rich, juicy profile pairs beautifully with something that cuts through the fat — like a good bourbon cocktail, a classic Old Fashioned, or a zinfandel with a little spice. And if you’re keeping it simple, a cold Double Duce works here too — it’s versatile enough to go with just about anything on the menu.
No matter what you’re sipping, we’ve got the good stuff to round out your meal.
