Note

This recipe traditionally serves a very large, thick T-bone (often called a "Bistecca alla Fiorentina") meant for sharing. Ensure the steak is at room temperature before grilling for even cooking.

For the best results, use fresh herbs. If fresh rosemary, sage, or thyme are unavailable, you can substitute with dried herbs, but reduce the quantity by half.

The steak is traditionally served rare in Italy. Adjust cooking time if you prefer medium-rare or medium doneness.

Do not overcook the spinach; it should be bright green and just wilted to maintain its texture and nutritional value.

Da Vero olive oil is a specific high-quality brand, but any premium extra virgin olive oil with a fruity finish will work well for the final drizzle.

Letting the steak rest for 5 minutes after grilling allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a moist and tender result.
