Sicilian Steak (Bistecca Alla Siciliana)

Kim D.'s Note:

I found this recipe in the "Authentic Italian Recipes Cookbook", compiled by The Christopher Columbus Ladies Auxiliary of San Antonio, Texas. My husband loves this steak! It's a nice change from the normal way we grill our steaks. I serve it with either Fettuccini Alfredo or baked potatoes.

Thank you Kim D! There used to be a local restaraunt that served this dish. I always pestered the owner for the recipe, and he never would comply. The place closed down, and he died. One taste of this and it was like I was back in that restaraunt! I served this with my "parmesan and procuitto mashed potatoes" and a blend of sauteed zuchinni, onions, peppers and mushrooms. These steaks rock!

WOW!! Will be making this one over and over and over.. I also made up some mushrooms to eat with it, but it's not needed at all... Fantastic as is.

This looks Great. I can't wait to try it. One thing, what is the side dish? Looks like maybe a type of cucumber salad??
