This is Florentine steakhouse cooking at its most primal — a thick, bone-in cut seared hard on a screaming-hot cast iron pan until a deep mahogany crust forms on every surface, then finished with a drizzle of olive oil and fragrant rosemary. The ingredient list is beautifully short: good beef, kosher salt, black pepper, olive oil, rosemary, and a squeeze of lemon at the table. There's nothing here that doesn't belong, which makes it a natural fit for anyone avoiding synthetic dyes and additives that sneak into so many restaurant sauces and seasoning blends. The technique does all the heavy lifting — resting the steak at room temperature, searing undisturbed to build that crust, and slicing against the grain so every piece is tender. A finish of flaky sea salt and bright lemon wedges keeps things clean and bold without any unnecessary extras. It's the kind of meal that feels like a special occasion even on a Tuesday night.

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.
