Cooking steps
  1. 1

    Remove the steak from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking; pat dry thoroughly with paper towels and season both sides generously with coarse sea salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Preheat a grill pan or heavy cast iron skillet over high heat for at least 5 minutes until just smoking.

  3. 3

    Rub 1 tablespoon of olive oil onto the steak; lay the steak into the hot pan and sear for 2–3 minutes undisturbed per side for medium-rare, adjusting timing for desired doneness and temperature.

  4. 4

    Transfer the steak to a cutting board, loosely tent with foil, and let it rest for 8 minutes to allow juices to redistribute evenly.

  5. 5

    Toss arugula with the remaining olive oil, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt in a large bowl. Arrange on a platter. Slice the rested steak thinly against the grain and lay the slices over the arugula. Top with Parmigiano shavings and finish with an extra sprinkle of black pepper just before serving.

Personalized Q&A
Q. What's the key ingredient in this recipe?
The boneless ribeye steak is the star ingredient of Tagliata di Manzo. Its rich marbling and savory flavor define the dish's high protein profile and pair perfectly with the peppery arugula and Parmigiano Reggiano.
Q. How should I control the cooking heat for the best steak texture?
Preheat a heavy skillet or grill pan on high until just smoking. Sear the ribeye for 2–3 minutes per side without moving it to achieve a caramelized crust while keeping the interior tender and pink for medium-rare. Allowing the steak to rest after cooking ensures juiciness.
Q. How can I avoid overcooking or drying out my steak?
Pat the steak dry before cooking and use high heat for a quick sear. Watch the timing closely—2–3 minutes per side typically results in a juicy, medium-rare doneness. Always rest the steak under foil for 8 minutes before slicing to lock in moisture and prevent dryness.
Q. How many calories and protein does this dish provide per serving?
Each serving contains about 370 kcal with 36g protein, 23g fat, and 4g carbs. The protein contributes approximately 39% of total calories, so you get a nutritionally dense, high-protein meal suitable for low-carb and keto diets.
