Sidenote: The history behind “La Bistecca Alla Fiorentina” is as old as the city of Firenze, where it originates from. Firenze, the Renaissance city in the heart of Tuscany is known as the city of exceptional art and architecture. The city of love, the home of the largest cathedral and also famous for its Tuscan cuisine. It is said that during the feast of San Lorenzo in the 1800s, the Florentine steak was part of the celebration which was organized by the Medici family, one of history’s most important noble families. Large bonfires where used to cook the large pieces of steaks. The cuts of meat would be handed out to the townsfolk in the piazzas. The term “bistecca” also derives from around this time; the English (or rather the Anglo-Saxon) merchants would ask for their meat, calling it “beef steak”. The English term became difficult for the Florentines to pronounce & so they italianized the term becoming “bistecca”. La bistecca alla fiorentina became not only the most important dish in Tuscan cuisine but gained recognition worldwide.
