    The meat they use for traditional Florentine steak there is an Italian breed of cattle and has different characteristics than American Angus which we eat in the US. Additionally, it is dry aged, and the cattle is slaughtered at an older age. The meat is extremely lean, incredibly tender, and very clean in taste (I found it to be almost sweet in taste), unlike Angus which is usually pretty well-marbled, a bit tougher in texture, and has a bold, savory flavor. Extremely lean meat dries out quickly if cooked too much, and fatty meat like Angus is quite gross cooked rare or blue because the fat is not rendered. I've eaten at this restaurant before during a trip to Florence and although I like medium rare or medium usually, this particular steak is truly best when it's rare. If you ever get the chance to eat here, trust the traditions and order it rare, you won't be disappointed.

    As a Florentine, I confirm that the "Florentine steak" must necessarily be cooked on the grill for a few minutes and must drip blood, other types of cooking are not allowed: cooking it longer would mean ruining the meat and making it stringy, while cooking it rare ("al sangue") enhances the taste.
    Precisely for this reason not everyone likes it, but on the other hand Florentine cuisine has many alternatives, including vegetarian dishes, so it is not mandatory to taste it (it is also a fairly expensive dish, by the way).

    • @code2works
      @code2works 4 ปีที่แล้ว +15

      If I may, I must add a little extra info. The "aging" allows to obtain a "rare meat" but almost bloodless, further emphasizing the flavor of the meat at the expense of the ferrous taste of a unaged meat.

      @pietrobarile7110 4 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      @Karen Reed In theory you are right, but in practice it would be like ordering a burnt hamburger or a raw hot dog: of course the cook can serve it anyway, but the point is that a well-done "florentine" is a technically wrong cooking point, because it is not suitable for the type of meat.

      @Karen Reed Eating pasta al dente or cooked doesn't change the overall quality of the dish and it's only a matter of personal preference, cooking a florentine steak too much ruins the taste and the texture of the meat. You're free to ask the chef to cook your steak as much as you want, but just be wary that you are wasting money and good meat. You're not allowed to complain afterwards, ok? No "calling the manager" or any other Karen bullcrap.

    I have had the porterhouse at that restaurant in Florence, as well as at two other restaurants. Let's just say this steak, dry aged, and cooked over oak coals is a really good reason to visit Tuscany. And to be clear, it is traditional to cook this meat to just medium rare or barely warm in the middle. It is not cool in the middle like steak prepared rare.

    Vini vidi vici; smokey, nuanced, tender through 25 days of aging. I went with the Chianina and had no regrets. I was torn between savouring the various elements around the t-bone, and eating it before the hot platform it is served on cooked it further. I prioritised gnawing on the bone over consuming the sliced meat, and as a result the tail end pieces were a little more cooked than ideal, so there are some tactical elements you should consider.

    I'm a Texan, but I can say that these steaks give us Texans a run for the money! I also agree that you don't need to load it down with a bunch of spices, unless you purchased a sub-par piece of meat. But, when you're spending good money on a quality cut like these Porterhouse cuts (which is what these are, has both the larger Filet AND the Strip), you only need to sprinkle some good Kosher salt on them like these folks do. This is also a really good technique for those thick tomahawk cuts.

    - A mixed Salat as a starter
    -a 1000g or 1kg T-Bone Steak with roast potatoes
    - a dessert
    and Water to it. That is awesome.
