Beef carpaccio with truffle oil

Recipes Starters
Born at Harry's Bar in Venice, this dish is the noblest celebration of raw meat. The secret lies in the play of textures and temperatures: ice-cold, paper-thin slices of meat meeting the silkiness of room-temperature oil and the acidity of lemon, melting in the mouth.

Instructions

1 ✓

Wrap the cleaned beef fillet tightly in cling film, shape into a cylinder, and place in the freezer for 1 hour.

Tip: Firming up the meat is essential for paper-thin slicing. We don't freeze it rock hard, just firm it so the fibres hold shape when cutting.
2 ✓

Remove the meat and cut into translucent thin slices with a very sharp knife.

Tip: If slices aren't thin enough, place them between two layers of film and gently flatten with a rolling pin.
3 ✓

Immediately arrange the slices on cold plates so they don't fully overlap.

Tip: A cold plate slows down the meat warming up and oxidation (greying).
4 ✓

Just before serving, drizzle the meat with olive oil, truffle oil, and lemon juice.

Tip: Citric acid starts to 'cook' the meat (protein denaturation) and discolour it, so do this only at the last moment.
5 ✓

Sprinkle the top with coarse salt and freshly ground pepper.

Tip: Salt crystals provide an exciting crunch against the soft meat.
6 ✓

Pile fresh rocket in the centre, sprinkle with capers, and shave parmesan over it with a vegetable peeler.

Tip: The bitterness of rocket and the umami (salty-full) character of parmesan balance the sweetness of the meat.
7 ✓

Serve immediately with crusty bread or toast.

Tip: The freshness of carpaccio evaporates in minutes, don't let it stand.
