Florentine steak

 Okay, so I have always wanted to try a Florentine steak, a huge slab of Chianina beef from the distinctive breed of cattle from Tuscany.  When you order it at a restaurant, it is handled as a sacred event.  They bring the raw steak out for you to admire.  Then they cook it... barely! (and seriously, do not ask for it to be well-done)  The steak is just seared on both sides and it is done.  It's basically rare to medium rare.  Then, it is sliced up by the maestro:


And you enjoy it with a Vino Nobile:

And then a stroll home while pondering the glory of it all:
