Florentine T-bone steak (Bistecca alla Fiorentina)

Remove the Chianina T-bone steak from the refrigerator at least 2 hours before cooking to allow it to reach room temperature.

Prepare a charcoal grill, aiming for a very hot, direct heat zone. The coals should be glowing red with a thin layer of ash.

Pat the Chianina T-bone steak thoroughly dry with paper towels.
