This is Florentine steakhouse cooking at its most primal — a thick, bone-in cut seared hard on cast iron until a deep mahogany crust locks in every bit of flavor. The entire recipe runs on extra-virgin olive oil, which means there are no industrial seed oils hiding anywhere in the process, just clean, honest fat that lets the beef shine. Resting the steak at room temperature before it hits the screaming-hot pan is the kind of detail that separates a great sear from a mediocre one, and this recipe doesn't skip it. Rosemary draped over the resting meat perfumes every slice with a subtle herbal note that feels effortlessly elegant. A squeeze of lemon and a pinch of flaky sea salt at the table brighten the richness without masking it — classic Florentine tradition for a reason. The gluten-free designation here is essentially a non-issue since the dish is built entirely on steak, olive oil, and aromatics, with nothing to add or subtract. Whether you're cooking for a crowd or treating yourself to a serious weekend dinner, this is the kind of recipe that makes the whole kitchen smell incredible.

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.
