Ingredients

• 300 grams Beef tenderloin
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 50 grams Arugula (rocket)
• 20 grams Parmesan cheese
• 1 tablespoon Capers
• 1 tablespoon Chives

Directions

Step 1

Wrap the beef tenderloin tightly in plastic wrap and place it in the freezer for 30 minutes. This step allows you to slice the beef more easily as the firmer texture helps in achieving paper-thin slices.

Step 2

While the beef is chilling, prepare the dressing by whisking together olive oil and lemon juice in a small bowl. Set aside.

Step 3

Remove the beef from the freezer. Once firm, use a very sharp knife to slice the beef tenderloin as thinly as possible. If necessary, flatten each slice gently using a meat tenderizer between two sheets of plastic wrap.

Step 4

Arrange the beef slices on a large platter or individual plates, slightly overlapping the slices for an appealing presentation.

Step 5

Drizzle the olive oil and lemon juice dressing evenly over the beef slices.

Step 6

Evenly sprinkle freshly cracked black pepper over the carpaccio. Adjust to your taste preference, but remember to focus on flavors rather than sodium.

Step 7

Garnish the carpaccio with fresh arugula leaves, scattered evenly across the plate.

Step 8

Using a vegetable peeler, shave or grate Parmesan cheese over the top of the beef and arugula.

Step 9

Distribute the capers evenly over the dish, providing a tangy punch to complement the rich textures.

Step 10

Lastly, sprinkle chopped chives over the dish for added color and a mild onion flavor.

Step 11

Serve immediately as a stylish and flavorful appetizer, allowing your guests to enjoy the natural, simple taste of the beef enhanced by fresh ingredients.
