Few dishes command a dinner table quite like a thick, bone-in steak seared to a deep mahogany crust and finished with a drizzle of good olive oil and a squeeze of bright lemon. This Florentine-style preparation is gloriously simple — just quality beef, kosher salt, black pepper, olive oil, and fresh rosemary — which means there is absolutely nothing hiding in the ingredient list that could cause concern. The cast iron grill pan does the heavy lifting here, building that dramatic crust through high, dry heat rather than any marinades or sauces that might sneak in unwanted extras. Resting the rosemary sprigs over the steak as it relaxes on the board is a small touch that perfumes the meat beautifully without overpowering it. Slicing both the strip loin and tenderloin sections against the grain and fanning them out on a platter makes for a presentation that looks genuinely impressive with almost zero extra effort. A little flaky sea salt at the end and a wedge of lemon on the side are all you need to bring the whole thing together.

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.
