Buona domenica,

The Bistecca alla Fiorentina is one of Tuscany’s most iconic dishes, known for its simplicity and rich history.

Originating during the Renaissance at the Medici court, this steak has become a culinary symbol of the region, celebrated for its traditional preparation and exceptional flavor.

Since the 1970s, I have been enjoying this dish at my aunt’s farm in the Chianti region of Tuscany. My uncle would prepare it over an open fire in his farmhouse kitchen, a method that highlights the essence of Tuscan cooking: simplicity and respect for quality ingredients.

In my latest video and post, I will guide you through the process of preparing this dish the traditional way—from selecting and preparing the best cut of meat to mastering the grilling process over a wood fire.

To make the most of the BBQ, I also prepare a side of rustic vegetables, keeping the same straightforward and authentic approach.
