Shortloin Primal Box: premium steakhouse cuts, better value
If you love T-bones and porterhouses, this shortloin primal beef package is the easiest way to stock your freezer with thick-cut steaks while paying less than buying the same cuts individually. Our butchers break down one whole shortloin primal and portion it into a curated mix of iconic steaks, plus flavourful trim that is ground into a premium steak-burger blend.
What you get
- Porterhouse steaks
- T-bone steaks
- Wing steaks
- Ground steak trim (from premium trimmings)
Cut spec: thick-cut 1.25" to 1.5", individually vacuum-sealed, and flash frozen to help lock in freshness and make freezer storage simple.
Total weight: 20 to 25 lbs
Compare the value vs buying individual T-bone steaks
Customers often ask: “Is a shortloin primal beef package actually better value than just buying T-bones?” For most households, yes, for three practical reasons:
- Lower effective cost per pound: The equivalent items purchased individually would total $1,197, which is a stated savings of nearly $500.
- You get more than T-bones: A shortloin yields multiple steak types. Instead of paying per-cut pricing for only T-bones, you receive a variety from the same primal, including porterhouse and wing steaks.
- Nothing goes to waste: Premium trimmings are turned into ground steak trim, so you are not paying only for the “pretty” steaks while the rest disappears into unknown trim. It becomes burger-ready beef with shortloin flavour.
If your goal is simply a couple of steaks for tonight, individual T-bones can make sense. If your goal is freezer stocking, meal prep, and best value per dollar on shortloin, this package is the smarter buy.

FAQ
How many steaks are included?
Counts vary because each animal and primal is slightly different, and this package is sold by total weight (20 to 25 lbs). You will receive a complete assortment of the listed cuts from a single shortloin primal.
Are the steaks ready to freeze?
Yes. They are individually vacuum-sealed and flash frozen for convenient storage and easy single-meal thawing.
Is this the same as buying a “meat box” subscription?
No. This is a one-time purchase.
What is “ground steak trim” best for?
Use it for steakhouse-style burgers, smash burgers, meatballs, or chili when you want a richer beef flavour than standard ground.
