Wine pairing

Steak tagliata goes perfectly with full-bodied red wines such as Chianti classico, Gattinara, and Rosso di Montalcino, or other well-structured reds.

Tagliata is a dish that must be cooked on the spot, so preparing it in advance is not recommended.

Do not salt the meat until the last moment; if applied first, the salt draws the juices to the outside, making the meat stringy and dry.

Do not “boil” the meat; put it on the grill or in a frying pan over high heat.

Piercing the meat allows the juices to escape, so avoid using table or carving forks and turn it as gently as possible with the help of forceps or a spoon.

Do not make tagliata if you like your meat well-done: To remain soft and succulent, lean meats must only be cooked for a short time.

Do not cut the meat immediately, let it rest in the oven for 5 minutes; this time allows the juices to redistribute among the fibres of the meat, so they don’t all leak out at the first cut.

The meat will lose its succulence if you do not eat it fresh out the oven. In any case, you can reuse any leftovers in a Bolognese sauce, Mondeghili meatballs, or filling for meat raviolini.

To make an excellent tagliata, the quality of the meat is of fundamental importance.

The most suitable cut is the entrecôte or sirloin, which has the right balance of lean and fatty parts. Contact your trusted butcher for recommendations regarding any alternative cuts that have these characteristics. Slice the meat no thinner than 4–5 cm so the tagliata retains its succulence.

Usually tagliata should be eaten rare, at most medium.

You can check if the meat is cooked to the desired doneness by touch: It should be soft to the touch and form a depression, which becomes less evident the longer it is cooked.
