Few dishes command a dinner table quite like a thick, bone-in steak seared to a deep mahogany crust and finished with nothing but good olive oil, rosemary, and a squeeze of lemon. This Florentine-style preparation is a masterclass in restraint — the seasoning is minimal, the technique is straightforward, and the result is genuinely spectacular. Because the ingredient list is so clean and focused on quality beef and pantry staples, there's no need to hunt down specialty products or scrutinize labels for hidden additives. The cast iron grill pan does the heavy lifting here, building that signature crust on both flat sides and even along the fat cap before the steak goes to rest under fragrant rosemary sprigs. Slicing the strip loin and tenderloin sections against the grain and fanning them out on a platter makes for a presentation that looks far more impressive than the effort required. A finishing pinch of flaky sea salt and a wedge of lemon at the table are all it takes to bring every bite into sharp, bright focus. This is the kind of recipe that earns a permanent spot in your rotation.

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.
