Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Beef tenderloin
- 4 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 50 grams Parmesan cheese
- 50 grams Arugula
- to taste Salt
- to taste Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Place the beef tenderloin in the freezer for about 15-20 minutes to firm up, making it easier to slice thinly.
Once the meat is slightly firm, remove it from the freezer and slice as thinly as possible using a sharp knife.
Arrange the thin slices of beef evenly onto a large plate or individual serving plates.
Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the beef slices.
Sprinkle the fresh lemon juice over the top, ensuring it covers the meat adequately.
Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Use a vegetable peeler to shave thin slices of Parmesan cheese and distribute them over the beef.
Garnish the plate with fresh arugula, placing it artfully across the carpaccio.
Serve immediately, or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve, allowing it to come to room temperature before eating.
