Beef carpaccio

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Main Courses
Carpaccio is the celebration of raw meat. As there is no heat treatment, quality is non-negotiable: only the freshest, finest beef fillet will do. The essence of the dish is slicing paper-thin, almost melting on the tongue, and the fine balance of seasonings (acid, salt, umami) which highlights the natural sweetness of the beef without overpowering it.

Instructions

1 ✓

Wrap the trimmed beef tightly in cling film, forming a cylinder. Put in the freezer for 30-40 minutes.

Tip: Semi-frozen meat is firmer, making it much easier to cut paper-thin slices than raw, soft meat.
2 ✓

Take out the meat and cut paper-thin slices with the sharpest knife possible. Arrange them on a large plate not overlapping.

Tip: If you didn't manage thin enough, place the slice on the plate, cover with film, and flatten with your finger or a spoon.
3 ✓

Immediately drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice. The acidity of the lemon starts to 'cook' (denature) the proteins, turning the meat a slightly lighter colour.

Tip: Don't leave for hours as the lemon will 'cook' the meat grey. Season before serving.
4 ✓

Sprinkle with salt, pepper, pile the rocket in the middle and scatter with parmesan shavings.

Tip: The crunch of salt (texture) is an important experience alongside the soft meat.
