Bistecca Alla Fiorentina

For a sinfully delicious date night dinner, turn to this classic Italian steak preparation. It’s simply flavored with rosemary and lemon, allowing the meat to take center stage.

Ingredients:

• 2 bone-in porterhouse steaks
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 sprigs rosemary
• Kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper, to taste
• Lemon wedges, for serving

Directions:

1. 30 minutes before cooking, remove steaks from fridge to bring them to room temperature.
2. Heat a grill or large cast-iron skillet to high. While heating, brush steaks with half the oil and season liberally with salt and pepper.
3. Place steaks on the hottest part of the grill or pan and cook for 5 minutes.
4. Flip steaks and baste with remaining oil, using rosemary sprigs as a brush. If cooking in a pan, place sprigs next to steaks after basting.
5. Cook for 5–6 minutes for medium-rare.
6. Let steaks sit for at least 5 minutes, slice against the grain, and serve with bone.
