IS IT WORTH IT?! Today we are trying the BEST steak in Florence, Italy! Weighing a whopping 1.3kg (2.8 lbs) and served rare on a sizzling hot stone, Bistecca alla Fiorentina is a traditional Florentine dish! But...is it worth the hefty €112 price tag??
Trattoria dall’Oste has four steak houses across Florence sourcing the best breeds of cattle from Italy and the world. Bistecca alla Fiorentina or The Florentine Steak is a thick t-bone beef cut weighing anywhere from 1kg-4kg (2lb-8lb) and typically from the Chianina breed of cattle. The steak is grilled over a wood fire until it develops a charred crust on the outside while remaining rare and juicy on the inside, then traditionally, seasoned only with salt.
According to who you talk to, there are a few rules to craft the perfect Bistecca alla Fiorentina:
● It must be eaten rare.
● The thickness is measured in fingers. To be Florentine, a steak has to be at least 3 fingers thick.
● It must be cooked using a certain wood and at a constant temperature.
● There is no sauce – the only thing added after cooking, is some salt.
● It's not supposed to be just part of a dish, this is the dish.
