Original Fiorentina Steak and Tagliata




Ingredients:
- One beef steak  (1 kilo or more)
- Salt

The true steak (with bone which is like a T with sirloin and fillet I a side) comes from tender beef preferably chianina breed.
Prepare in time the barbecue so that you can have a good ember with no fire, Place the grill over the ember (about 10 cm.)
When the grill is red-hot place the steak ( at room temperature, not washed and take it with your hands- no fork!)Grill the steak 10 minutes o’ clock without touching it.
Turn it with a spatula (not with a fork)
Grill fore 5 more minutes, salt the grilled part.
Eat in the next minute, a cold Bistecca is damaged!
You can add some pepper, but NOT NOT NOT NOT  lemon.

Tagliata = Big steak cut in slices
This is like a grilled steak, it is bigger and, when ready it is cut in vertical slices, without separating
them, on these slices you can put:
-rucola salad dressed with salt and olive oil and parmesan cheese
-olive oil with aromatic herbs
-fresh artichokes cut slices dressed with olive oil, salt and 1 spoon of juice of lemon
