Bistecca alla Fiorentina is the staple of Florentine cuisine. Cooked rigorously on the grill, it’s a special cut of Chianina beef seasoned only with salt and extra virgin olive oil. Its meat is extremely tender and juicy and must be served rare, to better enjoy its incredible taste. Learn all the steps in cooking such a life-changing world-famous dish with the help of the chef. They will wisely guide you through the whole process, advising you on the best techniques to cook it to absolute perfection.

But first things first! Let’s start with an appetizer: nothing better than some bruschettas to tickle your appetite. After a quick aperitivo, time for the main guest of the day: Her Majesty, the Florentine steak. Watch the chef literally cuddle the meat, as it slowly cooks on the grill and its mouthwatering smell fills the kitchen. Once the steak is ready, let’s put it aside for a few minutes to rest and let’s prepare some side dishes to enhance its flavor.

A simple salad is the perfect match but, as the fire is still on, let’s make the most out of it and grill some vegetables as well. Lastly, since there’s no dinner worthy of its name without dessert, let’s bake the most famed Florentine biscotti: cantuccini. They are one of the culinary symbols of Tuscany and the chef will teach you thoroughly to prepare the best version of such beloved traditional almond cookies. Of course, cantuccini cannot exist without vinsanto: dip them in the typical dessert wine and taste their flavor to the fullest.

After such hard work, eventually comes the most awaited moment of the night: dinner is served! Enjoy your Fiorentina steak while sipping a good glass of red house wine. Raise your glasses and make a toast together! The Florentine steak has no more secrets for you, so be ready to bring your backyard barbecues to a completely different level once back home!
