1:20 "Florence is like the mother of the Florentine steak"
When youre trying to reach the word count in your essay
Tomas I Was Thinking The Same Thing What is He Talking About
0:27 you are welcum.
The meat tastes meaty...
@@bg6012 lol........
"Florence is the mother of 'Fiorentina'(the T bone cut from Tuscany)" it was just badly translated in the video
It's so rare I mistook it for a legendary pokemon.

Bruh that was corny af..... yet good!
It has to be like this
😂😂
That's how you know the meat is top quality. Delicious
When I was in Florence I had a Florentine Steak and a bottle of Montepulciano. It was one of the most pleasurable experiences of my life.
Me too
Italy is one of the most romantic places on earth. It's like living in a painting. I find it amazing how cultures are layered atop cultures. And, no place shows this better than Italy.
@@draculasbridekaren1664 I do not have this kind of impression as Italian born here. Where are you from?
@@albertocassinelli1218 I'm from Ireland. I find your country to be incredibly beautiful. There's a region called Lazio, east of Rome, which I find particularly lovely, with all the hillside towns. I also like Pisa quite a lot. Overall, your country is stunning.
@@draculasbridekaren1664 You right! Italy offers so many beautiful places! I have never been to Ireland. Sorry! Tuscany is a region you should visit! I am in Milan very close to the Alps I love! Switzerland is just around the corner very beautiful especially Wallis Region Kanton.
I had this dish in Florence sometime in the 80's. Hands down the best steak I've ever had. I was sceptical at first because it looked half raw. But one taste and wow...
looks gross
@@trumpwon20204 you sound like a gen z/millenial sissy
@@trumpwon20204 average incel opinion
@@trumpwon20204: you faint when you see your own blood? Lol
Should be more raw tbh

That's why this person said "I thought-".
Please read.
The meat they use for traditional Florentine steak there is an Italian breed of cattle and has different characteristics than American Angus which we eat in the US. Additionally, it is dry aged, and the cattle is slaughtered at an older age. The meat is extremely lean, incredibly tender, and very clean in taste (I found it to be almost sweet in taste), unlike Angus which is usually pretty well-marbled, a bit tougher in texture, and has a bold, savory flavor. Extremely lean meat dries out quickly if cooked too much, and fatty meat like Angus is quite gross cooked rare or blue because the fat is not rendered. I've eaten at this restaurant before during a trip to Florence and although I like medium rare or medium usually, this particular steak is truly best when it's rare. If you ever get the chance to eat here, trust the traditions and order it rare, you won't be disappointed.
Probably the best advice I have seen yet for how to behave when traveling in other counties or far away cities "trust the traditions".
Thank you for the advice, we’ll be visiting soon and as a Texan I’m skeptical about their beer but you put into great perspective

Ya I was noticing how it wasn't very marbled. Thx for the info!
Great comment. Thanks
Been there numerous times. I spend 2-3 months in Florence every year and look forward to my steak from Trattoria Dall'Oste.
How beautiful! I envy you! I'd spend my life there if I could
Hi Jeffery…..la dolce vita e Molto bello!!! Sounds like a great gig. We are planning to spend a month in Florence this spring and wondering if you have any suggestions for eateries that locals go to. We are staying near Piazza di Santa Trinita. Annnnnd. Any thoughts of Daily excursions locally or countryside. Have been in Florence 4-5 times but not more than 3 nights. Mille Grazie! Ciao ciao
@@sandypessione1343 yes, you must try the Tuscan steak at Ristorante da Lino. Via S. Elisabetta, 6. One block from the duomo. And for swordfish, there is a place about a 10 minute walk from the duomo. Il Latini Restirante Cafaggi. Preseo is our favorite. They are right in Piazza Santa Maria across from city hall. Try Ciao Florence for all kinds of tours and classes. Ciao and viaggia sicuro
I love watching people eat.
At least someone is happy.
Sending a plate your your steak up to the edge of the earth'd atmosphere is such a big flex
It's so raw PETA is fighting for its right to live

As the local saying goes "If it's less than three fingers thick, it's carpaccio".
Great video - I am going to Florence for the month of April and will definitely be going here! Can't wait.
Been there, had the best steak in my life. It was so good that when I back to my home country and eat a local steak, it taste like paper with salt and pepper
Berapaan harganya;
How much is the steak?
@@angelbarroga3827 should be around 70- 80 euros each fiorentina steak
Thank you @Massimo Cuomo for the info👍
Massimo Cuomo. And then you get a 1 kg. steak?
I have had the porterhouse at that restaurant in Florence, as well as at two other restaurants. Let's just say this steak, dry aged, and cooked over oak coals is a really good reason to visit Tuscany. And to be clear, it is traditional to cook this meat to just medium rare or barely warm in the middle. It is not cool in the middle like steak prepared rare.

I had a Florentine Steak in Florence, it was amazing!!!!!!! It was an experience and one I will never forget!!!
I watch this video almost everyday..again n again
That girl is a very good reviewer. Straightforward and honest. She doesn't overdo it.
I personally had this same steak at this restaurant last year and it was absolutely phenomenal!
You my friend have lived!!
@@sonofagreatsouthernland fiorentini eat this dish since the 1400s and they are pretty fine to me like no one died because of it
@@theteamxxx3142 thats not what he meant. "You have lived" can be understood as "you have enjoyed life" eating such a nice steak.
@@stephangui6038 oh ok I mean he’s right then xD
How much ?
Such a good steak! happy to see our video was suggested on here as well!
Yes! Had this in Florence. The atmosphere and the steak 🥩 are something you will never forget. 💕 ITALIA
I lived in Florence as a kid in the mid 70's and loved the steak..rare all the way..drizzled with evoo and a slash of lemon juice... Trattoria Le Cave di Maiano was were my parents took us...sitting outside underneath fig and olive trees
You have beautiful and tasty memories😋😀. Le cave di Maiano is still open nowadays so if you ever come to Florence you can enjoy the same steak you ate with your family long time ago. Greetings from Italy
Lemon juice on a steak? No thats a fajita at that point lol.
As a Florentine, I confirm that the "Florentine steak" must necessarily be cooked on the grill for a few minutes and must drip blood, other types of cooking are not allowed: cooking it longer would mean ruining the meat and making it stringy, while cooking it rare ("al sangue") enhances the taste.
Precisely for this reason not everyone likes it, but on the other hand Florentine cuisine has many alternatives, including vegetarian dishes, so it is not mandatory to taste it (it is also a fairly expensive dish, by the way).
If I may, I must add a little extra info. The "aging" allows to obtain a "rare meat" but almost bloodless, further emphasizing the flavor of the meat at the expense of the ferrous taste of a unaged meat.
@Karen Reed In theory you are right, but in practice it would be like ordering a burnt hamburger or a raw hot dog: of course the cook can serve it anyway, but the point is that a well-done "florentine" is a technically wrong cooking point, because it is not suitable for the type of meat.
Karen Reed no wonder your name is Karen
@Karen Reed Eating pasta al dente or cooked doesn't change the overall quality of the dish and it's only a matter of personal preference, cooking a florentine steak too much ruins the taste and the texture of the meat. You're free to ask the chef to cook your steak as much as you want, but just be wary that you are wasting money and good meat. You're not allowed to complain afterwards, ok? No "calling the manager" or any other Karen bullcrap.
The red juice in beef is not blood, it is myoglobin.
Wow that looks incredible
Two minutes in and I already subsribed. Must be the presentation.
As an englishman living in Tuscany I can honestly say this is the best stake I have ever tasted, it costs around 50 Euros a KG but worth every penny, and of course it has to be large and very rare...a good bistecca alla fiorentina is meat perfection...
Steak not Stake Englishman.
As an Englishman how in TF u spell it stake?
@@joeroberts2156 hahaha.......he skipped 101 spelling classes it looks like.
That is way too rare for me.
If it’s that good, that’s downright cheap.
I was in Florence last year summer June 2019 it was so hot that I was going to have this for lunch but decided to.just have the lampredotto at Antico Vinaio was worth it! I'd like to come back in Italy on Spring or Fall to try this when the lockdown is over😘
Awesome video! As usual. Hungry now...
Vini vidi vici; smokey, nuanced, tender through 25 days of aging. I went with the Chianina and had no regrets. I was torn between savouring the various elements around the t-bone, and eating it before the hot platform it is served on cooked it further. I prioritised gnawing on the bone over consuming the sliced meat, and as a result the tail end pieces were a little more cooked than ideal, so there are some tactical elements you should consider. Peak cow; I am normally a sheep man, but this cow was so tasty it elevated beef to stratospheric levels
"Massive" is an understatement! Hosting my friends there in a few months.
This comment didn’t age well...... never got that steak, did ya?
I thought it would be famous roy PIZZA ... I love this Channel...
Holy cow that looks amazing
I love your food blogs Claudia
Its past 1am I can't sleep so I opened up youtube and accidentally found this video. Now after watching this I'm drooling for some meat.
lol i am in the same situation i cant sleep its 1am and i am craving meat
Pause
Its all about mid.. Night..
Midnight snack like Garfield
Now that looks delicious!
"Let's hope to make more next year."
God damn it 2020.
I just ate but my mouth is watering just watching your video. 😅
“Its just so rare. You can taste the meat”
LOL...Its such a stereotype but its a true one....LOL.
😂😂😂
You can taste it when it’s medium too! You’re just getting crappy steak otherwise.
😂😂😂
Its TOO RAW.let it cook a little more...thats still mooing 🤦♂️
“It’s cooked rare, because steak has to be cooked rare.” Never heard truer words in my life
lol lmao
More like lazy chefs who can't make it tender without it being raw
Word. Anyone who says different has not had a good steak
Steak elitists are so weird
@@mangosday for real lol like let people have their steak however tf they want to. iF iTs nOt rArE dOnT eAt sTeAk
Im literally drooling 🤤
I think might have ate at this restaurant when I was in Florence in 2011. It was near my hotel and I recall eating nearby.
TBH I had bistecca alla fiorentina about twice or three times and it was great every time!
Its so raw a good vet can still revive it.
Lol
Moooo!
Why do they eat raw meat. The shit taste raw and tough with blood. Cook that shit wtf
@@kevinjohnson6177 seriously and dry aged
@@kevinjohnson6177 Do you even know how to cook? Tf are you even on about
Beautiful steak and perfectly cooked 👍🏼
AMAZING!
Wish I could magically transported there right now. My dad could take an inexpensive Chuck streak and fry it up nice and bloody. It was delicious, but when I went to my 1st Steakhouse and got a Porterhouses medium rare I was forever in love.
We had these steaks a while back in a restaurant in Orbatello in Tuscany called D'Egisto My friend had the largest Bistecca Fiorentina on the menu and the owner said if he could finish it in one go at the table he would get it for free. Well he did finish it and all the waiters came out and applauded him when he took the last mouthful.
That steak looks beautiful and perfectly cooked. However if I ate a whole one of those I wouldn't be able to shit for at least a week.
oh don't worry, it's so good that you won't have that problem
🥵💩
Good girl
You need to order a double side of vegetables.
Maybe you should get that checked out?!
I ate there last Wednesday. Magnificent !
Incredible!
"This steak is an absolute unit" She took the words right out of my mouth.
"Look at that absolute unit of a steak!"
I didn't know Claudia was a memelord in addition to a culinary expert.

My mouth is watering.
That hunk of steak looks absolutely phenomenal.😊
I wanna visit Italy just to eat their food.
SOMEDAY🙏
How far from Italy do you live? A flight cannot be that expensive. Save up and book a trip.
I'm in love with the steak.
damn mouth watering!!
We cannot get here soon enough! 😋
Those steaks are huge. Has anyone seen, The Great Outdoors with John Candy and Dan Aykroyd? Home of the 96'er"

love the stek!
Looks like a beautiful cut and cook.
so rare, so good like that beef curtain!
I wish I found this place when we were there
this is seriously some mouthwatering looking steak right here
MOM WE NEED TO BUY SOME STEAKS
Bruh
This video makes me hungry😂
Beautiful Steak!!!
Was in Florence in 2015, and enjoyed their legendary steak. As I like my steak rare to blue it was perfect for me. Not so much for my wife who likes hers to be medium to well. The only way to go.
well.. that's cause for divorce right there...
I ate one of these when I was in Florence over 20 years ago. I'm still digesting it.
Spero tu sia stato da un medico per un controllo in questi 20 anni, perchè la "fiorentina" non è certo difficile da digerire. Con ossequio.

funny, everytime I cook steak for gf she eats it like it's her "last meal"... c'mon folks, learn how to cook a steak, get a grill
Love this place
Mouth is watering
Omg, i ate here and got the Florentine steak when I visited Florence roughly 3 weeks ago :o I didn’t know this was a legendary restaurant. Btw, the waiters were very kind and sociable, too! I enjoyed my overall experience in the restaurant.
Cara Kai
How much was your meal? I’m guessing a steak that size is $200 USD?
James Chung hey just asked my parents about the price. They couldnt remember how much the florentine steak is exactly but they paid around 200+ euros (2 florentine steaks, few cups of white rice, 2 pastas, another dish and drinks). So for sure one steak would not cost 200 euros. :) although they did mention that other steaks in the restaurant were relatively cheaper than the florentine one. Hope this helps!
2:10 Gru you’re not sneaky!!!
The best steak I ever had in my life!
I have been here 2 years ago at the branch near the railway station and trust me I enjoyed their T bone. Best steak verified
Good God that looks Amazing!!! I'm a steak fiend, it's like dope to a crackhead to me. I'm literally getting hungry watching this and I just pigged out at a all you can eat restaurant not 2 hours ago. Now I'm looking through the freezer hoping to find a Steak🔥🥩🔥
I was cautious because of how rare it is. I usually go medium rare. But florentine steak is absolutely divine. Wouldn’t want it any other way 👌🏽 perfection
I guess they can say that the steak’s flavor is truly out of this world
With sides, that one steak would my family of four , easy. Yum!
Wow. That steakhouse is clearing at least 5M€ annually. 👏🏾 bravo.
They probably make more from wine than steak.

Am I right fellow Yankees
just like a bunch of kansas city whores? (blazing saddles) actually, the movies used another term, but I prefer girls. so.
For everyone who complained about the steak being too thick or rare: The video clearly explained those are the requirements for this specific steak.
How else to eat any steak, rare is a must and thick is almost always better.
It's just a poorly cooked steak. Medium-rare or nothing.
My concierge ardently recommended this steak on my first visit to Florence in 1991. She said it would be a memory to take with me. She was right, best ever and that includes Americas best.
5:42 serving a steak on a hot stone is an excellent idea!!
