Ingredients

  • 1 pc t-bone steak(thick-cut, about 2-3 inches thick, approximately 2 lbs)
  • 2 tbsp fresh rosemary(finely chopped)
  • 1 tbsp fresh sage(finely chopped)
  • 2 pcs garlic(cloves, minced)
  • 3 tbsp olive oil(extra virgin, divided)
  • 1 tsp sea salt(or to taste)
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper(freshly ground, or to taste)

Instructions

Preparation

  1. Remove the T-bone steak from the refrigerator at least 1 hour before cooking to bring it to room temperature.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the chopped fresh rosemary, fresh sage, minced garlic, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a thick herb rub.
  3. Pat the steak dry with paper towels. Generously rub the herb mixture evenly over all surfaces of the steak.

Cooking

  1. Preheat a grill or a heavy cast-iron pan over high heat until very hot, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Place the seasoned steak on the hot grill or pan. For a rare to medium-rare steak (traditional Fiorentina), cook for 5-6 minutes per side. For thicker cuts, you might also sear the edges of the bone.
  3. Use a meat thermometer to check for desired doneness: 125-130°F (52-54°C) for rare, 130-135°F (54-57°C) for medium-rare.
  4. Once cooked, transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for at least 5-10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a tender and flavorful steak.

Serving

  1. Slice the steak off the bone, then slice across the grain into thick pieces. Arrange on a serving platter.
  2. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of high-quality extra virgin olive oil just before serving.
