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, and fresh rosemary — which means there's nothing hidden in the ingredient list to worry about. The cast iron grill pan does the heavy lifting here, building that restaurant-worthy crust through high heat and patience rather than any complicated technique or coating. Resting the rosemary sprigs over the meat while it relaxes on the cutting board infuses a subtle herbal fragrance that makes the whole thing feel effortlessly elegant. Slicing the strip loin and tenderloin away from the bone and fanning them out on a platter turns a single cut of beef into a genuinely showstopping centerpiece. Flaky sea salt and lemon wedges on the side let everyone finish their plate exactly the way they like it.

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.
