The "bistecca alla fiorentina", Florentine steak, is an Italian steak made of veal or heifer and it's one of the most popular dishes of Tuscan cuisine. It is a high cut including the bone, to be cooked on the embers or on the grill, with a degree of "blood" cooking ("al sangue"). The meat, previously aged for at least two weeks in cold rooms, must be at room temperature at the time of cooking; the cut is about kg and the height about 5-6 cm.
