    Preparation Steps

    1

    Remove the steak from the refrigerator at least 1 hour before cooking to allow it to come to room temperature. This helps ensure even cooking.

    2

    Preheat your grill or a cast-iron skillet over high heat. The surface should be very hot to create a good sear on the steak.

    3

    Lightly coat the steak with olive oil on both sides, then season generously with coarse sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.

    4

    Place the steak on the hot grill or skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes per side, depending on your desired level of doneness (rare, medium-rare, etc.).

    5

    Stand the steak upright on the bone to ensure even cooking. Afterward, let the steak rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

    6

    Serve the Bistecca alla Fiorentina with fresh lemon wedges and, optionally, a sprig of fresh rosemary. Serve with simple side dishes such as salad or grilled vegetables.
