Nutmeg Free Gluten Free Bistecca alla Fiorentina

This is Florentine steakhouse cooking at its most primal — a thick, bone-in cut seared hard over screaming heat until a deep mahogany crust locks in every drop of juice. The ingredient list is refreshingly short: a quality porterhouse or T-bone, kosher salt, black pepper, olive oil, and fresh rosemary. That simplicity is exactly the point, and it means there's nothing hidden to worry about for anyone avoiding warm spices like nutmeg that sometimes sneak into marinades or seasoning blends. The technique does all the heavy lifting here, with a cast iron grill pan delivering the kind of fierce, even heat that mimics a proper Florentine wood fire. Resting the steak under the rosemary sprigs before slicing lets the juices redistribute and gives the meat a subtle herbal fragrance without overpowering it. A squeeze of lemon and a pinch of flaky sea salt at the table are the only finishing touches you need. It's the kind of meal that feels like a special occasion even on a Tuesday night.
