Bistecca alla Fiorentina - Steakhouse in Italy

Steak cutting and grilling in Florence. Chianina beef being low in fat - lean - can be eaten rare or even blue rare. The weight of the prepared steak is 1.5 kg -

[@gserban]

I had this once in Tuscany and when I got it, I thought it was way to raw and would probably be tough. Nope, the meat is the most tender thing you can imagine! It was incredibly tasty and tender and unlike anything I’ve had in the US. Something every meat/beef lover needs to try at least once.

[@toothpicksniffer9610]

Do you think it’s because America is new to the scene in terms of cultural evolution? Like, since it’s such a new country, do you think that it’s just a lower quality because of its age? And do you think that maybe, in a few years, it could reach or even top it’s European or Asian counterparts in the food department?

[@thyartismukduk4742]

I want someone to challenge one of the chefs to cook a steak well done, but keep it juicy and full of flavor.

[@cdcdcdfr]

It's hard to find flavourful food in the US, and extremely expensive too.

[@CaptainEdMercer]

@@toothpicksniffer9610 interesting way of thinking about it, but truth is that America is a very poverty stricken country. Most people here in America can't afford to eat at places like this in the video, and if a place exactly like that did come to the US, the bill would be more than most peoples rent. So the problem is we could achieve good food like this but there isn't a wide enough market for it because of exports cost, and not enough people to make a business from it.

[@samb1539]

I'm not a North American, but I was wondering what this steak video, has to do with the U.S?? I know Americans are this and that, but sometimes people hate too much. Just for the record, most people in Italy won't be able to afford this plate.

[@1111boone]

In Florence, nine of us ate 3 one kilo steaks, with fries! That’s the only way it was sold, by the kilo ( 2.2 lbs ). Started with two but it was so good we ordered the third one. Medium rare, fantastic!

[@mihaitaneamt1378]

any one else nearly cried watching this , my god i can taste that deliciousness

[@bartferdek3821]

I've been to Florence this summer and I had a chance to try one of those and damn, they're amazing! Loving your videos by the way, keep it up!

[@edwine9340]

I was there this past spring, wonderful city. I had the Florentine Steak at a different restaurant. You order by the kilo (1k=2.2lbs) and depending on the restaurant, looking at $65-$80 euros per kilo. They will not ask you how you want it done, they prepare it the same way every time. If you don't like to see it between rare or medium rare, can't help you...but it was very, very good.

[@_d--]

Ripped off It seems. Chianina directly from the butcherer, cooked too, eaten right away 44€ x kg. I know my stuff, i'm from Val Di Chiana

[@94gioval]

If you don't like it rare or medium rare there is no reason to pay for a premium steak, any cut can do once is overcooked.

[@hachelmann559]

@Edwin, sounds perfect

[@joshschneider9766]

Yes direct from the butcher is cheaper. They're not cooking it for you. They aren't paying all the bills for the steakhouse either. The butcher didn't buy the tableware... and on and on. God I wish people would think

[@looqischmidt5581]

I ate salmon to dinner, but watching this just ruined my dinner! And i am hungry again big time. If i ever go to Italy again i will go to this place and order a steak like this, when i can die in peace.

We attended a Rolling Stones show near Florence in 2017 and stayed at the St Regis Hotel where the band stayed too. We went to this steak house late one evening. The display of all the meat is beautiful.

[@bradcollins9647]

Some years ago in Tuscany I went to the butcher (in a little village) with my girlfriend and said "Due fiorentina per favore." He had a long look at us and with a grin he heaved up a piece of meat like the leg of an elephant. I believe the diameter was about 30cm. He set the knive at 9 or 10cm and said "Fiorentina..." I swallowed. Then he set the knive back to 5 or 6cm. "Normale". Very quietly I said "Due normale..." Anyway we had a size-problem with the frying pan in our rented house, but the meat was extraordinary. Later on we went to Florence and had fiorentinas in a steak house. They showed us the pieces of meat before cooking them on the open barbeque. The meat was much larger than the dish... It was wonderful.

[@williamchin6098]

My wife and I ordered the Bistecca alla Fiorentina in Florence. You do not have a choice, because the chef cut along the rib and you got your cut when it is your turn. Ours was 880 grams. I ate it for lunch with a half bottle of Montalcino. My wife had two bites and I finished the whole thing. It was glorious. My wife took pictures of me as to how happy I was - love it!!!

[@MrRebar15]

We saw these being served up when we went to Florence. Even for two, an intimidatingly huge amount of meat and a good vet could get that walking again. However, had a "normal" locally grown steak at another place and it was absolutely fabulous. Never had a disappointing meal in Florence. I think some people, Italians, Spanish, Thai, are just genetically incapable of not doing justice to great ingredients.

The proper Fiorentina is actually very good. But a lot of regular steaks are sold as Fiorentina while they are not. Buy it only if you are sure. It must be dry aged for a quite long time. That is what gives tenderness. Traditional butcheries are the proper places to find this delicacy. I mean, very very traditional butcheries.
