This is Tuscan steakhouse cooking at its most primal — a massive, bone-in cut seared hard over screaming heat until a deep mahogany crust locks in every drop of juice. The technique is beautifully straightforward: dry the meat, season it boldly with kosher salt and black pepper, and let a ripping-hot cast iron grill pan do the heavy lifting. Resting rosemary sprigs draped over the top while it finishes add a whisper of herbal fragrance without overwhelming the beef. A squeeze of lemon and a pinch of flaky sea salt at the table are the only finishing touches this showstopper needs. Because the entire recipe is built on whole, single-ingredient foods — steak, olive oil, fresh herbs, citrus — there's nothing here to second-guess from a cross-contamination standpoint. It's naturally free of the ingredients that make so many restaurant dishes a gamble, so you can focus entirely on nailing that perfect medium-rare. Slice it against the grain, fan it out on a platter with the bone, and watch it disappear.

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.
