👨‍🍳 تعليمات

1
Prepare the beef for slicing: Wrap the beef tenderloin tightly in plastic wrap, ensuring it's compact and has a uniform shape. Place it in the freezer for at least 1 hour and up to 2 hours. The goal is to firm up the meat so it can be sliced very thinly without tearing, but not to freeze it solid.
⏱️ 1-2 hours
2
Slice the beef: Once the beef is firm to the touch (it should feel like very cold butter), unwrap it. Using your sharpest knife (a long, thin blade is ideal), slice the beef as thinly as possible, aiming for translucent slices. If the beef becomes too soft during slicing, return it to the freezer for another 15-20 minutes. You can also use a meat slicer if available.
⏱️ 10-15 minutes
3
Arrange and temper: Carefully arrange the thin beef slices in a single layer on chilled serving plates. Overlap them slightly or fan them out. Let the carpaccio sit at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes to take the chill off and allow the flavors to develop.
⏱️ 10-15 minutes
4
Dress and garnish: In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil and fresh lemon juice. Season lightly with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Drizzle this dressing evenly over the beef slices. Scatter the fresh arugula over the top. Using a vegetable peeler or a sharp knife, shave thin curls of Parmigiano Reggiano over the arugula. If using, finish with a delicate drizzle of truffle oil.
