Note :
A grilled Florentine T-bone steak is the ultimate treat for steak
lovers. In Italy the steak is cut from Tuscan bred Chianina beef and
hung for at least 6 days. Traditionally it is cooked over the embers of
a charcoal or wood burning grill and eaten very rare. The steaks are
also very good barbecued. Ask your butcher for a steak which has been
well hung to ensure plenty of flavor and tenderness.
