Few steakhouse experiences rival the drama of a thick, bone-in cut cooked over screaming-hot cast iron, and this Florentine-style preparation delivers exactly that kind of primal, fire-kissed satisfaction at home. The ingredient list is beautifully stripped back — just a well-marbled porterhouse or T-bone, olive oil, kosher salt, black pepper, and fresh rosemary — which means there's nothing here to worry about from a gluten standpoint, no hidden sauces or coatings to scrutinize. That simplicity is actually the whole point: traditional Bistecca alla Fiorentina has always been about honoring the quality of the beef rather than masking it. The technique of letting the steak come to room temperature before it hits the pan, then searing undisturbed until a deep mahogany crust forms, is what separates a great result from a merely good one. Draping rosemary over the resting meat perfumes every slice with a subtle herbal warmth that plays beautifully against the bright hit of lemon at the table. Sliced against the grain and fanned out on a platter with flaky sea salt, this is the kind of centerpiece that makes a weeknight feel like a celebration.

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.
