A Flavorful Tuscan Maremma Style Steak Recipe - Lidia’s Kitchen Series
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.
