Tuscan T-Bone Steak, also known as Bistecca Alla Fiorentina, is a popular dish in the Tuscany region of Italy. This steak is cut from the center of the sirloin and includes a T-shaped bone, giving it a distinctive appearance. The steak is seasoned simply with sea salt and black pepper, then grilled to perfection. Traditionally, Bistecca Alla Fiorentina is served rare or medium-rare and is often accompanied by roasted potatoes and a simple salad. Today's version of the recipe is elevated with a garlic and rosemary oil that adds an extra layer of flavor to the steak.

5.	Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes.
