Few dishes command a table the way a thick, bone-in Florentine-style steak does — all crackling crust, rosy interior, and that unmistakable char from a screaming-hot cast iron pan. The ingredient list here is refreshingly short: a serious cut of beef, kosher salt, black pepper, olive oil, and fresh rosemary, which means every element on the plate is exactly what it says it is. For anyone navigating hidden flavor enhancers in restaurant sauces or pre-seasoned cuts, cooking this at home puts you completely in control. The technique is straightforward — a long rest at room temperature, a properly preheated pan, and patience while that deep mahogany crust builds on each side. Finishing with a drizzle of olive oil, a squeeze of lemon, and a pinch of flaky sea salt is all the sauce this steak will ever need. It's the kind of meal that feels like a special occasion even on a Tuesday, and the bone-in presentation makes it genuinely stunning on the platter.

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.
