Paleo 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: quality beef, kosher salt, black pepper, olive oil, and a couple of rosemary sprigs draped over the top while it rests. That's it. No marinades, no sauces, no fillers — just the kind of clean, whole-food simplicity that makes this dish a natural fit for anyone eating grain-free and unprocessed. The technique does all the heavy lifting, with a cast iron grill pan delivering the intense sear that a traditional Florentine kitchen would achieve over a wood fire. Resting the meat before slicing and cutting against the grain are the two small steps that take this from good to genuinely restaurant-worthy. A squeeze of lemon and a pinch of flaky sea salt at the table brighten everything up without complicating the plate. It's the kind of meal that feels like a celebration even on a Tuesday night.
