🔥 The Perfect Bruna Alpina & Reggiana Côte à l'Os on the BBQ – Authentic Italian Steakhouse Perfection

Ingredients

• 1 Bruna Alpina & Reggiana Côte à l'Os (1 to 1.5 kg)

• Coarse sea salt

• Freshly ground black pepper (optional, after cooking)

Step 1 – Preparation

Remove the meat from the refrigerator at least 1 hour before cooking.

Pat the côte à l'os dry with paper towels.

Allow the meat to reach room temperature.

Step 2 – Prepare the BBQ

Stabilize your barbecue or kamado at 110–120°C (230–250°F).

Set up an indirect cooking zone.

Step 3 – Reverse Sear Cooking

Place the côte à l'os over indirect heat.

Slowly cook until it reaches an internal temperature of approximately 48°C (118°F).

Depending on thickness, this usually takes between 60 and 90 minutes.

Step 4 – High-Heat Searing

Remove the steak temporarily.

Increase the barbecue temperature to maximum.

Sear the côte à l'os:

• 1 to 2 minutes per side

• Briefly sear the fat cap as well

This creates a beautiful, flavorful crust.

Step 5 – Resting

Allow the meat to rest for at least 10 minutes under loosely tented foil.

This allows the juices to redistribute evenly throughout the meat.

Step 6 – Serving

Separate the meat from the bone.

Slice against the grain into beautiful thin slices.

Finish with coarse sea salt.

Recommended Internal Temperatures
