The flavors of Italy combined with the beef of Texas. A grilled T-bone steak can be dazzled up simply with a drizzle of olive oil and served with a basil, tomato, and mozzarella relish. It's great when you get the cool relish with the warm steak in one bite. If the T-bone is too much for you substitute it with any thick cut streak like a Porterhouse or NY Strip.
