Florentine Beef

Ingredients

• 1 thick New York, rib, or T-bone steak
• olive oil
• pink peppercorns
• fresh rosemary
• lemon

Method

• Get the pan very hot. While the pan is heating, cover the meat in olive oil and salt and pepper. Place meat in heavy heated pan and sear for about 4-6 minutes on each side (depending on the thickness); it should be rare in the middle.
• Remove the steaks from the pan. Tent with foil on plate while you make the sauce.
• In the pan with the meat juices, sprinkle the pan liberally with pink peppercorns and lots of fresh rosemary....add lots of olive oil to about 1/4" or more in pan. Heat and hold warm. Squeeze lemon juice on steaks.
• Slice the meat on the diagonal and fan on plaate. Pur sauce over the meat and serve with rosemary finger garnish. Fabulous!!
