I've only been to Tuscany once, but I do remember a grilled steak coming off a charcoal fire, which was then sliced and splashed with olive oil, lemon, and rosemary. While I'm sure my version is far from traditional, it's really tasty and the very user-friendly flank steak is the perfect cut.
Ingredients
- 0.5 cups chopped fresh rosemary
- 6 cloves garlic
- 0.33 cups olive oil
- 0.25 cups lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons red pepper flakes
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 , 1 1/2-pound
- 0.33 cups extra virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary
- 0.13 teaspoons red pepper flakes
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 sprig fresh rosemary
Instructions
-
1
Combine 1/2 cup chopped fresh rosemary, garlic, 1/3 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup lemon juice, black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and set marinade aside.

2
Pierce the steak with a fork 20 to 30 times. Place in a shallow baking dish. Pour marinade over steak and flip to coat both sides. Cover and refrigerate for 4 to 8 hours.
-
3
Combine 1/3 cup olive oil, 3 tablespoons lemon juice, lemon zest, 1 teaspoon minced rosemary, 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes, and a pinch of salt in a jar. Cover and shake the dressing to combine. Shake again before using.

4
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
-
5
Remove steak from marinade; scrape off any chunks of marinade. Discard used marinade. Season steak with salt and black pepper.
-
6
Place steak on the preheated grill and cook until browned on the outside and red on the inside, about 6 to 8 minutes per side. Place 2 tablespoons of the olive oil-lemon juice dressing in a small bowl. Use rosemary sprig to baste the steak while it cooks. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a steak should read 125 degrees F (52 degrees C) for rare.

Remove steak to a platter and allow to rest about 6 minutes before slicing. Cut in half lengthwise, then into 1/4-inch-thick slices at an angle against the grain. Drizzle with additional dressing.
