We have that too:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-bone_steak

The T-bone and porterhouse are steaks of beef cut from the short loin.
Both steaks include a "T-shaped" bone with meat on each side.
Porterhouse steaks are cut from the rear end of the short loin and thus
include more tenderloin steak, along with (on the other side of the
bone) a large strip steak. T-bone steaks are cut closer to the front,
and contain a smaller section of tenderloin.

Interesting how they are the same, just from different ends of the loin.

I prefer a T-bone myself.
