- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons capers, rinsed and drained
- 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 50 grams arugula
- 30 grams Parmesan cheese, shaved
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Place the beef tenderloin in the freezer for about 15 minutes to make it easier to slice thinly.
Step 2
Remove the beef from the freezer and slice it as thinly as possible using a very sharp knife. Ideally, you should be able to see through the slices.
Step 3
Arrange the slices on a large plate or serving platter, ensuring that they overlap slightly.
Step 4
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper to form a simple vinaigrette.
Step 5
Drizzle the vinaigrette evenly over the beef slices.
Step 6
Sprinkle the capers over the beef, followed by the shaved Parmesan cheese.
Step 7
Arrange the arugula over the beef and top with chopped fresh parsley.
Step 8
Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
