Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams beef tenderloin
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons capers, rinsed and drained
- 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 50 grams arugula
- 30 grams Parmesan cheese, shaved
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Place the beef tenderloin in the freezer for about 15 minutes to make it easier to slice thinly.
Remove the beef from the freezer and slice it as thinly as possible using a very sharp knife. Ideally, you should be able to see through the slices.
Arrange the slices on a large plate or serving platter, ensuring that they overlap slightly.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper to form a simple vinaigrette.
Drizzle the vinaigrette evenly over the beef slices.
Sprinkle the capers over the beef, followed by the shaved Parmesan cheese.
Arrange the arugula over the beef and top with chopped fresh parsley.
Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
