Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Beef tenderloin
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 cups Arugula leaves
- 25 grams Parmesan cheese, shaved
- 2 tablespoons Capers
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 10 leaves Fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Place the beef tenderloin in the freezer for about 15-20 minutes to make it easier to slice thinly.
While the beef is chilling, prepare the dressing by combining olive oil and lemon juice in a small bowl. Whisk together until emulsified. Season with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Remove the beef from the freezer and use a very sharp knife to slice it as thinly as possible. Arrange the slices on a large platter or individual plates, slightly overlapping each piece.
Drizzle the olive oil and lemon juice dressing over the beef slices.
In a separate bowl, lightly toss the arugula leaves with a small amount of the dressing.
Distribute the arugula evenly over the beef and sprinkle with shaved Parmesan, capers, and fresh basil leaves.
Season the carpaccio with a touch more salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Serve immediately as a delicate and flavorful appetizer.
