Tuscan Maremma Style Steak Recipe – Everybody loves a good steak, and this is a particularly impressive one. Even though the Italians in general are not big steak – eaters, the area of Tuscany around Florence is famous for its mammoth steaks, known as bistecca alla fiorentina. Maremma is a very rustic county in Tuscany— to the west, toward the Tyrrhenian Sea— where a substantial number of cattle are raised. The cut of meat used here is a Porterhouse, which is similar to a T- bone steak but with a larger cross- section of the tenderloin (filet mignon) along one side of the “T.” Either will yield good results, but choose a prime steak that has been aged properly for 2 to 3 weeks, and make sure it is cut evenly in thickness, with some of the protective outer fat left on.

  1. Lidia, I love how you give us some history of the lovely regions of Italy and a little summary before you begin your cooking magic. Thank you for sharing. Your videos are wonderful.

  2. Wow! New Sub Here! I recently made Steak Kabobs on my page too and your dish looks amazing! Hope to stay connected! 😄

  3. Lidia, where can a T-bone of that thickness be purchased in the US? I'm thinking one would have to request a local butcher to cut it special?

  4. My father was from Sicily. He would always tell me "the closer to the bone, the sweeter the meat" so true!

  5. I heard in some bistro's in Tuscany, they give you the whole steak! It would take me several days to digest!

  6. 😂😂you mean to tell me those are the only seasonings your going to use for the steak. I know that shit is flavorless 😂😂
