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 bit of juicy, beefy flavor. The technique is beautifully straightforward: dry the meat, season it boldly with kosher salt and black pepper, and let a blazing cast iron grill pan do the heavy lifting. Resting rosemary sprigs draped over the top while the steak relaxes off the heat add a whisper of herbal fragrance without overpowering the star of the show. A squeeze of lemon and a pinch of flaky sea salt at the table are the only finishing touches you need. For anyone navigating tree nut concerns, this recipe is naturally in the clear — it's built entirely on beef, olive oil, fresh herbs, and citrus, with zero ambiguity about what's in the pan. The real magic is in the carving: slicing the strip loin and tenderloin away from the bone and fanning them out on a platter turns dinner into a genuine moment. It's the kind of meal that makes a weeknight feel like a special occasion.

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.
