Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams beef tenderloin
- to taste freshly ground black pepper
- to taste kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon capers
- 50 grams arugula leaves
- 20 grams Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze
Instructions
For best results, place the beef tenderloin in the freezer for 15-20 minutes to firm it up.
Once the beef is slightly firm, use a sharp knife to slice it into paper-thin slices against the grain.
Lay the slices evenly on a plate or serving platter, slightly overlapping them.
Season the beef slices lightly with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, extra-virgin olive oil, and capers to create the dressing.
Drizzle the dressing evenly over the beef slices.
Top the beef with a generous handful of fresh arugula leaves.
Using a vegetable peeler, shave the Parmesan cheese over the entire dish.
Finish with a delicate drizzle of balsamic glaze for sweetness and color.
Serve immediately as a sophisticated appetizer that is light on fats yet bursting with flavor.
