Beef Carpaccio

Cultural Context

Originating in Venice, Italy, Beef Carpaccio was created in the 1950s and named after the painter Vittore Carpaccio, known for his vibrant reds. Traditionally served as an appetizer, it highlights the quality of raw beef, complemented by simple, fresh ingredients. Today, variations abound globally, with some incorporating different meats or toppings, yet the essence of this classic remains cherished.

1

Freeze beef tenderloin until very firm but not rock solid, about 1-2 hours. While the beef is in the freezer, place the plates in the fridge to chill.

Once the beef is firm, slice very thinly against the grain and place slices on chilled plates.

Top each serving with a handful of arugula and capers. Drizzle with vinegar and olive oil and add a pinch of freshly cracked black pepper and sea salt. Serve immediately.
