💰Cheaper: chicken broth

Chicken broth can add flavor without the cost of wine.

Prepare the beans by soaking them overnight in water.

Drain the beans and place them in a pot with fresh water, garlic, rosemary, and bay leaves.

Bring the beans to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until tender, about 1-1.5 hours.

In a separate pan, heat olive oil and sauté onion, carrot, and celery until softened.

Add cooked beans to the sautéed vegetables and stir in chicken broth and seasoning. Simmer for 10 minutes.

Preheat the grill to high heat.

Season the T-bone steak generously with salt and black pepper.

Grill the steak for 5-7 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness.

Let the steak rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Drizzle the steak with olive oil and lemon juice before serving.

Serve the steak alongside the Tuscan beans, garnished with fresh parsley.
