Bistecca Fiorentina

Cook Time 20 minutes

Servings 4

Ingredients

1kg T-Bone (Fiorentina steak which is 5 cm thick)

3 sprigs of parsley, stalks included, finely chopped 

1 clove of garlic, finely chopped

1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil plus extra for steak

Salt and pepper

Method

Remove the steak from the fridge 1 hour before cooking.

In a bowl combine the parsley, garlic, oil, a pinch of salt and pepper.

Preheat the BBQ to a medium-high heat. Oil steak lightly and season with salt. Grill the steak for 2 - 3 minutes on the fat side to render the fat. Lay flat and then cook for 5 - 6 minutes. Turn and cook for a further 5 - 6 minutes. Stand the steak upright and cook on the bone side for a further 2 - 3 minutes.

Remove the meat from the bone and slice against the grain. Arrange on a plate with the bone and drizzle parsley mixture, an extra pinch of salt, and a splash of olive oil.
