Italian, Main Course, T-Bone Steak

Bistecca alla Fiorentina

Serves 2

Ingredients

Method

1 thick T-bone or Porterhouse steak, about 2 to 3 pounds
Salt to Taste
Black pepper to Taste
2 tbsp. Olive oil
1 Lemon, cut into wedges

Remove the steak from the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature, about 30 minutes before grilling.

Preheat the grill to a high heat. Ensure it's very hot before placing the steak on it.

Season the steak generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Place the steak on the grill and cook for about 5 to 6 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer depending on your preferred degree of doneness.

Halfway through grilling each side, rotate the steak 90 degrees to create crosshatch grill marks.

Once cooked to your liking, remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes. This helps the juices redistribute throughout the meat.

Drizzle olive oil over the steak and squeeze some lemon juice over it right before serving.

Serve the steak whole or sliced against the grain, accompanied by extra lemon wedges on the side.
