Tuscan Steak with Olive Oil and Lemon
Americans eat steak plain, or with A1. The French eat their steaks with herbed butter, but the Italians serve their steaks drizzled with olive oil and lemon. You've got to try it!

Serves 4

Ingredients

Qty Unit Ingredient
2 ea Porterhouse or T-bone or other tender steak - 1 1/2 inches thick
Salt and pepper, to taste
3 Tb Olive oil
1 ea Lemon


Instructions

Start a charcoal fire; when the coals are ready, distribute most of the coals to one side. Arrange the remaining coals in a single layer on the other side.

If using a gas grill, preheat both sides on high until really hot, then lower the temperature on one side to medium.

Place the cooking rack on the grill, and clean with a wire brush.

Meanwhile, pat the steaks dry, and season generously with salt and pepper.

Grill the steaks on the hot side of the grill 2 to 3 minutes until well browned on one side; turn the steaks. Grill on the other side 2 minutes until nicely browned, then slide the steaks to the cooler side of the grill. Continue cooking 6 minutes for rare, 7 to 8 for medium rare, or 9 minutes for medium.

Remove the steaks from the grill, and let rest for 5 minutes. Slice the lemon lengthwise into 6 wedges.

Carve the steak off the bone, and slice crosswise. Divide the steak slices among serving plates. Drizzle with olive oil, squeeze a few drops of lemon over each plate, and serve garnished with lemon wedges.
