This is Tuscan steakhouse cooking at its most primal — a thick, bone-in cut seared hard over screaming heat until a deep mahogany crust forms on the outside while the interior stays tender and rosy. The ingredient list is refreshingly short: good beef, kosher salt, black pepper, olive oil, fresh rosemary, and a squeeze of lemon at the end. That simplicity is exactly the point, and it means there's nothing hidden to worry about for anyone avoiding spice blends or flavored seasonings that often sneak cinnamon into unexpected places. The cast iron grill pan does the heavy lifting here, building that restaurant-quality sear without any special equipment beyond what most home kitchens already have. Resting the rosemary sprigs over the steak while it relaxes on the cutting board adds a fragrant, herby note that feels luxurious without any extra effort. Sliced against the grain and fanned out on a platter with lemon wedges and a pinch of flaky sea salt, this is the kind of dish that genuinely stops conversation at the table. It's bold, it's beautiful, and every single ingredient earns its place.

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.
