Venison carpaccio

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Starters
Carpaccio (named after the painter Vittore Carpaccio's use of red pigments) is a celebration of the pure taste of raw meat. Venison is particularly suitable for this: lean, dark red, and rich in iron, which gives it a distinctive, sweet-metallic flavour. Since there is no heat treatment, the citric acid slightly 'cooks' (denatures) the surface, while the accompaniments (rocket, cheese) provide texture.

Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Sharp slicing knife: For wafer-thin slices.
  • Cling film: For freezing.

Allergen Information

⚠️ Milk (cheese)

Instructions

1 ✓

Wrap the meat tightly in cling film (shape into a cylinder) and place in the freezer for about 1 hour until it firms up but is not frozen through.

Tip: Soft, raw meat is impossible to slice thinly. In semi-frozen meat, the water crystallises, giving it structure, so you can cut paper-thin slices either by machine or knife.
2 ✓

Cut wafer-thin slices against the grain and arrange them immediately in a single layer on chilled plates.

Tip: Grain direction is important: if you cut parallel, it will be chewy. The cold plate prevents the meat from warming up and oxidising before serving.
3 ✓

Just before serving, drizzle with the oil and lemon juice. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and capers, then pile the rocket and cheese shavings in the centre.

Tip: Do not dress in advance! The citric acid will immediately start to 'cook' (turn grey) the meat, ruining the texture and appearance.

Recipe FAQ

Is raw game safe?
Only consume raw meat from a reliable source that has been inspected by a vet! To be safe, it is worth deep-freezing the meat beforehand, which kills potential parasites.
