Lidia's Italian Table

Bistecca Fiorentina (1x11)

Air date: Sep 12, 1998

Italians are not big beef eaters. When they do indulge, it is rarely with steak…except in Florence, where Bistecca Fiorentina is a favorite. At 2” thick, grilled over coals, with a very special anchovy, rosemary and salt rub, it is served with braised cannellini beans. Caramelized tomatoes (yes!) over vanilla ice cream for dessert; it’s a rich and robust dessert after Bistecca!
