Beef Carpaccio

Beef Carpaccio is a classic Italian dish featuring thinly sliced raw beef, elegantly drizzled with olive oil and lemon, and garnished with arugula and parmesan. This low-carb delicacy is not only visually stunning but also packed with flavor and nutrients.

Ingredients

• Beef tenderloin - 200 grams
• Extra virgin olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Lemon - 1 (juice only)
• Arugula - 50 grams
• Parmesan cheese - 30 grams (shaved)
• Capers - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste

Steps

1. Place the beef tenderloin in the freezer for about 30 minutes to firm it up for easy slicing.
2. Once slightly frozen, remove the beef and slice it as thinly as possible using a sharp knife or meat slicer.
3. Arrange the beef slices on two plates in a circular pattern, slightly overlapping each slice.
4. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to create a dressing.
5. Drizzle the dressing evenly over the arranged beef slices.
6. Top each plate with fresh arugula, shaved parmesan cheese, and capers.
7. Serve immediately, garnished with additional black pepper if desired.
