Ingredients:

• 1 Vermeat grass-fed Porterhouse Steak (approximately 24oz)
• 2 tbsp grass-fed tallow or ghee
• 3 tbsp organic olive oil
• 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
• 1 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Porterhouse Steak: Remove your Vermeat Porterhouse Steak from the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature for about 30-45 minutes. Pat the steak dry with paper towels, and season it generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper on both sides.
2. Heat the fat: In a heavy cast iron skillet or non-PTFE grill pan, heat the tallow or ghee over high heat until it's nearly smoking. For an open flame or outdoor grill option, preheat your grill to high heat for a more authentic and smoky Florentine Steak experience.
3. Sear the steak: Place the Porterhouse Steak in the skillet or grill pan, and sear it for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until a nicely charred crust develops. If using an open flame or outdoor grill, sear the steak directly on the grill grates for the same amount of time per side.
4. Rest the steak: Once the steak has been seared, remove it from the skillet or grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes, loosely covered with foil.
5. Prepare the dressing: In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, and parsley. Season the dressing with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Serve and enjoy: After resting the steak, slice it against the grain, and drizzle the flavorful olive oil, lemon, and herb dressing over the top. Now, sit down and savor the culmination of Vermeat's premium Porterhouse Steak, melded with the delightful flavors of classic Italian cuisine. Buon appetito!

Follow these simple steps to create a Florentine Steak that tantalizes the senses and highlights the exceptional quality of Vermeat's grass-fed beef.
