The Porterhouse or T-Bone is the most sought-after cut of Chianina beef. It features a larger striploin section and a smaller tenderloin (filet mignon) section.
Or perhaps you would like to try a genuine Bistecca alla Fiorentina, the ultimate Chianina recipe?
Sounds difficult? Judge for yourself...
The Chianina steak is lightly rubbed with olive oil and quickly seared on both sides over high heat. The meat is not served medium-rare, but truly rare and juicy. It is then seasoned with coarse sea salt, freshly ground black pepper and finished with another drizzle of olive oil.
A true Tuscan would serve it with nothing more than a few slices of lemon and a leaf of lettuce.
This centuries-old, wonderfully simple recipe is a beautiful tribute to the pure and authentic flavour of Chianina beef.
