Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 2 servings (or 3 depending on who is eating!)

Number Of Ingredients 3

One 2 1/4-inch-thick porterhouse steak
Sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Let the steak come to room temperature for 30 minutes. Preheat the grill to high heat.
  • Sprinkle the steak generously with salt and pepper on both sides and grill over high heat, about 6 minutes per side. You're looking for a nice crust on each side, but to be true to the Fiorentina method, it should be rare on the inside. If you prefer not to eat your meat rare, cook it a little longer on each side, about 8 minutes per side for medium and longer for well done.
  • Then let it rest for about 10 minutes before you carve into it.
  • Cut the steak off of the bone, carving the strip off on one side and the filet off on the other. Then slice the meat against the grain and serve it on a cutting board or platter with the bone (true Fiorentina style).

BISTECCA ALLA FIORENTINA (TUSCAN PORTERHOUSE)

This flagship, Tuscan steak is made from the region's Chianina breed of cattle which are prized for their tenderness and flavor. In typical Italian style, simplicity rules the day; little more than olive oil, rosemary, and salt are needed to highlight the rich flavor of the grilled meat. With Italian food, freshness and quality are top priority, so I use nothing less than choice porterhouse, and much prefer prime!

Time 1h25m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 sprigs fresh rosemary, chopped
1 (2 1/2 pound) choice or prime porterhouse steak
3 tablespoons Tuscan olive oil
Moist, grey sea salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste
6 lemon wedges

Steps:

  • Press chopped rosemary onto both sides of porterhouse steak; set onto a plate and allow to marinate at room temperature for 1 hour.
  • Start an outdoor grill using hardwood charcoal, such as hickory. When coals are white and glowing, arrange for high heat.
  • Gently brush or rub olive oil onto steak, then season to taste with sea salt and pepper.
  • Place steak onto grill, and cook until a dark, golden brown (not burnt) crust forms, 5 to 10 minutes depending on thickness of meat. Turn over, and continue cooking until golden on the other side, 5 to 10 minutes more. When finished, place steak onto a platter, and allow to rest for 10 minutes.
  • To serve, remove the two pieces of meat from the bone, and replace the bone onto the serving platter. Trim any unwanted fat from the round (tenderloin) steak, slice into 6 equal pieces at an angle to the grain, and fan out on one side of the bone. Slice the rectangular (loin) steak into 1/4-inch slices at an angle to the grain. Fan out on the other side of the bone. Finish by garnishing the platter with lemon wedges and a sprinkle of additional sea salt.

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 1

1 3/4 pounds beef cut from loin with fillet and bone steak

Steps:

  • Prepare the grill so that the charcoal is well lit and red hot without flames. When the grill, slightly inclined, is very hot, put on the meat and grill it without turning and without piercing it in any way. Another secret is to cook it very quickly so as to sear and seal in the meat juices. After 5 to 6 minutes, turn the steak over using a spatula and season with salt and pepper. At the end, the meat should be very well done on the outside. It does stay tasty and tender on the inside.
