Florentine Steak
(recipe for 1)
Sirloin steak with bone (2 lbs.)
Freshly round salt and pepper


Let the steak stand at room temperature before cooking it.
Salt it and place on a red hot broiler, without flame, grilling it until well browned on each side.
The steak should by charred on the outside but rare on the inside.
A sprinkle of olive oil or lemon can be added and then finish off with freshly ground pepper.
A green salad or white beans make a great side dish.
