Bistecca alla Fiorentina
Bistecca alla Fiorentina
Bistecca alla Fiorentina is an Italian dish consisting of a thick, juicy and perfectly seared T-bone steak. The steak is seasoned simply with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil, allowing the natural flavors of the meat to shine. Bistecca alla Fiorentina is typically cooked rare or medium-rare to maintain its tenderness and succulence. It’s often enjoyed with a side of roasted potatoes or a fresh green salad.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds T-bone steak (preferably Chianina beef)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper freshly ground, to taste
Instructions
- Take the T-bone steak out of the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. This will ensure even cooking.
- Preheat your grill or grill pan to high heat.
- Rub both sides of the steak with olive oil and season generously with salt and black pepper. Press the seasoning into the meat with your hands.
- Place the steak on the preheated grill or grill pan. For medium-rare doneness, cook for about 4-5 minutes per side. For medium, cook for 6-7 minutes per side. Adjust the cooking time based on your preference and the thickness of the steak.
- Once cooked to your liking, remove the steak from the grill and transfer it to a cutting board. Allow it to rest for about 5 minutes to retain its juices.
- Slice the steak against the grain into thick cuts. Serve it on a warm plate and drizzle any accumulated juices from the cutting board over the steak.
- Bistecca alla Fiorentina is traditionally served with a sprinkle of coarse salt on top, but this is optional. Feel free to garnish with fresh herbs or serve alongside roasted potatoes or a green salad.
