{Tagliata Di Manzo} Seared Florentine Steak Recipe

I have mentioned before that I lived in Florence for a while, so I obviously had to include this {Tagliata Di Manzo} Seared Florentine Steak Recipe.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

This is a very simple preparation, a favorite on the menus of trattorie or restaurants when a bistecca Fiorentina is a bit too much but customers still crave a good steak. So if you are in the mood for meat, but don’t want the whole steak, this is a great option for you. Like the bistecca, this is always cooked rare or, at the most, medium-rare in Florence. Served with a scattering of fresh rocket (arugula) and shaved parmesan, this {Tagliata Di Manzo} Seared Florentine Steak recipe is a meal on its own. Don’t forget some good crusty bread to mop up the juices.

Recipe Ingredients

These are the ingredients that you’ll need to make this recipe:

  • rump (sirloin) or rib-eye (bone-in) steak about 4 cm (1½ in) thick
  • fresh rosemary
  • extra-virgin olive oil
  • rocket baby arugula to serve
  • Parmigiano Reggiano cheese to serve

How To Make This Recipe

These are the instructions that you’ll need to follow to make this recipe:

  • Remove the meat from the refrigerator 1 hour before cooking to bring it up to room temperature. Bash the rosemary with the palm of your hand on the chopping board to release the essential oil, and drop in the olive oil in a small jug or bowl and let infuse for 1 hour.
  • Heat a chargrill pan to maximum heat. Season the meat with salt and brush over some of the rosemary-infused oil. When the pan begins to smoke, turn down the heat just a little and immediately place the steak in the pan.
  • Cook for 4 minutes on each side, turning every 2 minutes, then cook for a further 2 minutes on the bone side, holding the steak upright with a pair of tongs. Transfer the meat to a plate, pour over the rest of the rosemary-infused oil and cover with aluminum foil to rest for 4 to 6 minutes.
  • Slice the meat into 1.5 cm (1/2-inch) thick pieces, season with freshly ground pepper and serve topped with fresh rocket, shaved parmesan and the oily juices left over from resting the meat.
