Bistecca is a term which once defined a specific cut of meat, but today refers to a method of cooking meat, mostly red meats, on the grill, griddle or in a pan, so its juices are seared inside.
The “Fiorentina” is a cut of beef steak obtained from the short loin that consists of a T-shaped bone with meat on each side, one of which is the fillet, ideal for grilling.
What you see in the picture is a rib-eye-steak, a cut of meat varying in thickness (bone in or out) obtained from a bovine’s loin. The meat used here is from the Chianina breed of cattle. The steak is put onto the hot grill completely plain and is normally served rare, not bleeding, with a good drizzling of olive oil.
The method of cooking is the same for all the cuts.

CuttingRemove the steak from the heat and transfer to a cutting board. If you cook a "Fiorentina" with the bone, remove the fillet and the sirloin from the bone. You can eat dividing each in two parts or you can cut in slices and serve as a "Tagliata", seasoned with salt and drizzled with olive oil. You can add some rocket and parmesan cheese |
