Total time: 17 min • Prep: 2 min • Cook: 10 min • Serves: 4 • Difficulty: Easy

Although grilling is now considered a trendy way to cook meat, it is a very traditional Tuscan method, and one that is particularly suited to T-bones. A traditional rub made of herbs and spices and a good drizzle of fresh lemon juice enhances the flavour of this easy dish. While your grill is hot, add some zucchini, peppers, and eggplant to make a simple vegetable medley to accompany the hearty steak. Cut the vegetables lengthwise into planks, grill the planks on each side, then coarsely chop them and toss them together right before serving. Looking for a wine pairing to that can stand up this meal’s bold taste? Serve it with a rich, Tuscan classic, like Barolo or Barbera.
