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.

Using a sharp knife, slice the beef as thinly as possible just before serving.

Pound each slice lightly between two pieces of plastic to make it even thinner.

5

Prepare the sauce by adding mayonnaise, a couple tablespoons of fresh lemon juice, a couple anchovies, a pinch of garlic powder, and a good crack of black pepper into a food processor and blend until thin.

6

Keep a chilled plate in the fridge before assembling the dish.

7

Arrange the sliced beef on the chilled plate.

Toss arugula with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then add it on top of the beef.

Drizzle the prepared sauce over the beef and arugula.
