1. Prepare a charcoal fire and allow it to heat until grey ash forms on each coal. Using your hands or a spatula (not a fork), place the steaks on the grill for 4 to 5 minutes.

2. Salt the uncooked side, then turn the steaks with a spatula, allowing some of the salt to fall off. Cook the second side for 4 to 5 minutes, then flip back to the first side and finish cooking for another 4 to 5 minutes. The steaks should still be quite rare in the Florentine style.

3. Remove to a platter and sprinkle lightly with pepper. After resting for 5 minutes, cut the steak into two pieces making sure that each person gets half of the “tail”. Drizzle the olive oil over the steaks. Serve with lemon wedges, to be squeezed over the steaks.
