Bistecca alla Fiorentina (Florentine BBQ T-Bone)

Written By Rainbow Lasers

It’s with pleasure that I present to you perhaps one of the tastiest magical combinations:– A Florentine BBQ T-Bone with home-made Chimichurri sauce.  (Separate Chimichurri sauce recipe brought to you by Nagi from RecipeTinEats (why change something already so amazing?!))

Execution: Hard (because you have to cook it right)!
Preparation time: 5 minutes
Cooking time: 20 minutes
Servings: 4
Ingredients:

  • 2kg T-Bone or Sirloin

  • Fine salt, to taste

  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil, to taste

How to Prepare:

To prepare, start by taking the meat. It should be two to three fingers thick, with an appropriate amount of fat. Leave it at room temperature for a few hours; it is important that the meat is not cold when cooking.

Prepare the BBQ: Tip: it must be HOT!!!

Place the steak in the centre of the grill and cook for 8 minutes per side. When flipping, the grill marks should be clearly visible. Once cooked on the other side, place the meat vertically again, with the bone side down. This allows the juices to stabilise, making the meat more tender. Be careful not to burn the bone too much.

Transfer the meat to a cutting board and let it rest for 8-10 minutes. Cut the steak by separating the fillet from the sirloin. 

Plate up your T-Bone on a bed of rocket and cherry tomatoes, drizzle with EVO, slather with the wonderful Chimichurri sauce you’ve prepared earlier.
