hen thinking of Italian food, most people think of pasta, rich tomato sauce, and lots of cheese. However, the heart of Italian food is based on the grill. Great pieces of meat, poultry, sausage, and even pizza are all classically grilled Italian dishes. Steaks and Chops Italian Style! Italians raise some of the best beef in the world. Legendary Tuscan steaks originate from this cattle stock. I always talk about my Tuscan Heritage and discuss our relentless pursuit of Grilled Meats in all categories. Beef, Veal, Lamb and Pork are full of flavor and considered some of the best traditional Italian dishes in the world. You can grill a steak in the traditional Italian style, with a few additions of flavor. The secret is based on simplicity. Season the steak with a little Lemon, Lime or Orange juice before you grill it. Then serve the steak with a small drizzle of Extra Virgin Olive Oil and some Kosher or Sea Salt and Coarse Ground Black Pepper. The lemon juice will add a bright flavor and keep the meat tender while it grills.
