The T-bone steak comes from the center section of the short loin, between the porterhouse and rib. http://www.lobels.com/guide/beefs.htm May 23 08, 12:23 PM

The t-bone is part of the vertebra. "Anatomy of the T-Bone To cut a T-bone from butchered cattle, a lumbar vertebra is sawed in half through the vertebral column. The downward prong of the 'T' is a transverse process of the vertebra, and the flesh surrounding it is the spinal muscles. The small semi-circle at the top of the 'T' is half the vertebral foramen." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-bone_steak May 23 08, 12:49 PM
