An impressive T bone steak, cut thick to cook over wood; a true classic found in any traditional Italian restaurant
Bistecca Fiorentina is a true Italian classic. A Florentine steak is a T-bone steak, which is comprised of the tender fillet and the richly flavoured sirloin, cut very thick to cook over wood. It's a fantastic, impressive cut that has a long history in Italian cooking and you are sure to find it on the menu in any traditional Italian restaurant. It's absolutely perfect for cooking over fire, as the Italians do it, but will be equally delicious on a hot griddle pan.
We cut our Bistecca sirloin steaks from free-roaming native breed cattle that are 100% grass-fed on pasture at one of our outstanding small, local Suffolk farms. It's a cut that is rich in creamy fat and wonderful marbling which gives it a great succulent texture and a really rich, robust flavour. We dry-age the sirloins for a minimum of 4-5 weeks, which intensifies the wonderful taste of this big, beefy cut.

Our beef comes from trusted local Suffolk farms, carefully selected for their dedication to quality and sustainable practices. We work closely with farmers like Emily Winter, whose ‘Pasture for Life’ certified Lincoln Red herd at Darrow Farm produces exceptional grass-fed beef, and the Somerleyton Estate, known for its regeneratively raised Welsh Black and Highland cattle. We are also proud to partner with Natasha Mann, whose award-winning Lincoln Reds graze by the River Alde’s lush meadows, yielding beautifully marbled, rich, and tender beef. Receiving whole carcasses allows us to hang the meat for 4 - 8 weeks (or more by request), ensuring superior flavour and texture.
> BBQ
The perfect ‘fiorentina’ steak must be brown and crispy on the outside and pink in the middle.
To prepare it, just set it on a barbecue with absolutely no dressing and cook it without burning for 5 minutes, turn it, salt the cooked part, then cook the other side for 5 minutes and salt it when cooked. Stand it on its end to get some heat into the bone for 5 minutes, then on the fat, just to make sure it's crunchy, then serve with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and some pepper.
Classically Florentine steak is grilled over the open flame, but it’s ok to do it in a frying pan or even a big cast-iron griddle pan.
