This is Tuscan steakhouse cooking at its most primal — a thick, bone-in cut seared hard over screaming heat until a deep mahogany crust locks in every bit of juicy, beefy flavor. The preparation is beautifully stripped back: kosher salt, black pepper, extra-virgin olive oil, and a couple of rosemary sprigs draped over the meat as it rests. There's nothing hidden here, no sauces, no marinades, no sweeteners of any kind — just honest ingredients doing exactly what they're supposed to do. That simplicity is actually what makes this dish so satisfying for anyone keeping a close eye on added sugars, since most restaurant steaks and bottled seasonings can sneak them in without you ever noticing. The cast iron grill pan does the heavy lifting, building that signature crust you'd normally only get over a wood fire. A squeeze of lemon and a pinch of flaky sea salt at the table brighten everything up and let the quality of the beef truly shine. Slice it against the grain, fan it out on a platter around the bone, and watch it disappear.

Remove the steak from the refrigerator and pat it completely dry with paper towels. Season all surfaces — including the sides — generously with the kosher salt and black pepper. Let the steak rest at room temperature for 30 to 45 minutes.
Heat a cast iron grill pan over high heat for 4 to 5 minutes, until the surface is smoking. Brush 1 tbsp of the olive oil over both flat sides of the steak.
