Bistecca alla Fiorentina
Quick answer
Bistecca alla fiorentina is a thick T-bone steak grilled over coals and served rare, seasoned with salt, pepper and olive oil.
The steak, about 3–4 fingers thick, is grilled a few minutes per side and stood on its bone to finish.
Florentines serve it rare — asking for well-done is frowned upon.

How do you make a sausage and peppers sandwich?
Split a seeded Italian hero, toast the cut sides in the sausage pan, lay the whole sausage in first, then pile the peppers and onions on top so the juices soak down instead of through. Provolone under the sausage melts into a seal that keeps the bread intact.
