In Florence between the 15th-17th centuries, during the Medici family dynasty, large bonfires were lit on the day of San Lorenzo, used mainly to cook large quantities of beef, which was distributed free to the local population.It is said that at a banquet some English knights were also present who, after tasting the meat, began to call it by what is still today its Anglo-Saxon name: 'beef steak,' which in Italian became bistecca (beef).You can immerse yourself in a typical Florentine Sunday lunch, or dinner: typical appetizer, beef steak with a side of beans or roasted potatoes and radicchio salad. Excellent wine, ending with classic cantuccini and vin santo.
