Rye Free Gluten Free Bistecca alla Fiorentina

This is Tuscan steakhouse cooking at its most primal — a thick, bone-in cut seared hard on a screaming-hot cast iron pan until a deep mahogany crust forms on every surface, then finished with a drizzle of olive oil and fragrant rosemary. The ingredient list is beautifully short: good beef, kosher salt, black pepper, olive oil, and a couple of rosemary sprigs, with lemon wedges and flaky sea salt at the table. There's nothing here that contains rye or any grain whatsoever, so it's naturally a worry-free choice without any substitutions or label-checking required. The technique does all the heavy lifting — resting the steak at room temperature, searing undisturbed to build that crust, and standing the cut upright to render the fat cap — so every bite delivers serious depth of flavor. Sliced against the grain and fanned out on a platter with the bone, it's the kind of centerpiece that makes a weeknight feel like a special occasion. A squeeze of lemon over the finished slices cuts through the richness in the most satisfying way.
