Few dishes command a dinner table quite like a thick, bone-in Porterhouse seared to a deep mahogany crust over screaming-hot cast iron. This is the Florentine way — minimal ingredients, maximum technique — and the result is a steak that's smoky, juicy, and finished with a drizzle of good olive oil and a squeeze of bright lemon. The entire ingredient list is naturally free of legumes, so there's nothing to audit or swap out; just honest beef, salt, pepper, rosemary, and olive oil doing exactly what they're supposed to do. Letting the steak come to room temperature before it hits the pan is the kind of small step that makes a genuinely big difference in how evenly it cooks. Searing the fat cap upright on the bone is another move that elevates this beyond a standard weeknight sear — it renders beautifully and adds flavor to every slice. Sliced against the grain and fanned out on a platter with flaky sea salt, this is the kind of centerpiece that makes people put their phones down.

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.
