Classic Beef Carpaccio with Arugula & Parmesan

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Main Courses
Carpaccio is a celebration of raw meat. Since there is no heat, quality is non-negotiable: only the freshest beef tenderloin works. The essence is paper-thin slicing that melts on the tongue, and a balance of acid, salt, and umami to highlight the beef's natural sweetness.

Instructions

1 ✓

Wrap trimmed beef tightly in plastic wrap into a log shape. Freeze for 30-40 minutes.

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

Remove meat and slice as thinly as possible with a sharp knife. Arrange on a plate without overlapping.

Tip: If not thin enough, place slice on plate, cover with plastic, and flatten with fingers or spoon.
3 ✓

Immediately drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice. The acid starts to 'cook' (denature) proteins, turning meat lighter.

Tip: Don't let sit for hours or lemon will turn meat gray. Season right before serving.
4 ✓

Sprinkle with salt, pepper, top with arugula and parmesan shavings.

Tip: The crunch of salt provides important texture against the soft meat.
