Beef carpaccio is a classic Italian dish that is typically made with thinly sliced raw beef that is served with a tangy dressing and various toppings. It is a refreshing and flavorful dish that is perfect for a light lunch or appetizer. If you are looking for an easy recipe to make beef carpaccio at home, there are a few things you will need to know. First, you will need to choose the right cut of beef. The best cuts for carpaccio are those that are lean and have a fine grain, such as beef tenderloin or flank steak. Once you have chosen your beef, you will need to slice it very thinly. You can do this with a sharp knife or a meat slicer. Once the beef is sliced, you will need to dress it with a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, and salt and pepper. You can also add other herbs and spices to the dressing, such as garlic, thyme, or rosemary. Finally, you will need to top the carpaccio with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include arugula, shaved Parmesan cheese, and capers.

Steps:
- Rub the beef with olive oil and sprinkle all over with 2 teaspoons kosher salt and 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper. Heat a saute pan over high heat and sear the filet on all sides, turning it with tongs. Wrap the beef in plastic wrap and freeze for 2 hours, turning once to freeze evenly.
- Meanwhile, place the egg yolks, mustard, garlic, anchovies, lemon juice, 2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper in a food processor fitted with the steel blade and process for 15 seconds. Combine the 3/4 cup olive oil and the canola oil in a glass measuring cup. With the food processor running, slowly pour the oils down the feed tube in a thin stream. Add the grated Parmesan and pulse to combine.
- Remove the string from the beef and slice it very thin with a sharp slicing or smoked salmon knife. Place 5 slices on each dinner plate in a single layer. Drizzle the beef generously with the dressing and (in this order) sprinkle with the capers, kosher salt, pepper, arugula, shaved

Drizzle mustard sauce around each plate avoiding arugula. Garnish plates with tomato quarters and serve immediately. Notes For this dish it is best to use baby or wild arugula, but if this is not available, you can use mixed baby salad greens. You can either drizzle your carpaccio dish with a lightly flavored mustard sauce as I have in my recipe, or choose to use a simple lemon vinaigrette. To create your vinaigrette, top your carpaccio with a squeeze of lemon, a drizzle of olive oil, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper.

BEEF CARPACCIO
Beef tenderloin is called for here as it will unfailingly yield the tenderest carpaccio. It is a long, slender, tapered muscle that runs under the ribs and close to the back bone, and as such is, in a way, shielded from being worked very hard, unlike cuts lower on the animal. As for all of us, the closer to the ground the muscle lives, the tougher becomes the work. Some chefs have a real affinity for the harder-working muscles. Top round, for example, is also often called for in carpaccio recipes and is cut from a muscle that has to work harder, and therefore, is thought to have more character, and more flavor. I would gently warn that harder-working muscles come with a little more "chew." Try it here, as written, with sure success, then explore other cuts if you're interested.

Steps:
- Trim the beef tenderloin of all fat, sinew and silver skin. Tightly wrap the beef in plastic wrap, and place in freezer until firm, about 2 hours.
- Remove the beef from the freezer, and slice it crosswise into 1/8-inch-thick rounds. Divide the sliced beef into 4 equal portions among 4 sheets of parchment. Arrange the slices for each portion into a round, like a four-leaf clover or a pansy, with each petal slightly overlapping the next. Place a clean sheet of parchment on top of each neatly arranged round, and with the heel of your hand or a rolling pin, gently press the meat into cracker-thin, uniform circles without tearing the meat, working quickly to keep the meat from warming. Transfer the parchment-covered portions and 4 plates to the refrigerator to chill.
- Set up a stovetop fryer by heating the neutral oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Attach a candy thermometer to the side of the fryer, and heat the oil until the gauge reads 325 degrees, about 7 minutes. Thoroughly and carefully drain, then pat-dry, the matchstick potatoes. Just before cooking the potatoes, increase the temperature to high in anticipation of the plummeting in temperature. Add the potatoes to the oil and cook, agitating with a spider or slotted spoon to ensure even cooking, until the potatoes are light and golden in color, 2 or 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the potatoes to a paper-towel-lined plate. Season with kosher salt and a few drops of truffle oil.
- Dress the arugula with lemon juice, a drizzle of olive oil, kosher salt and plenty of freshly cracked black pepper.
- To assemble, remove the top layer of parchment from a beef portion, turn the beef onto a chilled plate and carefully peel off the remaining parchment. Repeat with the remaining beef portions. Season the beef with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Pile the dressed arugula, Parmesan, then the warm matchstick potatoes on the beef in 4 even portions. Season with salt, pepper and several drops of truffle oil.

Steps:
- Peel shallot, cut in thick slices and place in a small bowl. Add red wine vinegar and a pinch of salt. Toss and let marinate for at least 10 minutes.
- Cut beef into four 1 1/2-ounce slices. Trim away any fat or gristle. Put each slice between 2 layers of heavy-duty plastic wrap or parchment. Gently pound beef flat with a meat mallet to a thickness of about 1/16 inch and a diameter of about 6 inches. Refrigerate flattened slices for a few minutes, until chilled (do not remove plastic). May prepare up to this point several hours ahead.
- To serve, peel top layer of plastic from each slice. Invert each slice onto a chilled plate. Peel away remaining plastic. Top each slice with some pickled shallot, an anchovy, capers, fennel, arugula and chives. Season each portion with salt and pepper and drizzle generously with olive oil (about 1 tablespoon). With a vegetable peeler, shave Parmesan into curls. Garnish carpaccio with Parmesan and lemon wedges and serve immediately.

Steps:
- Combine pepper, fennel & salt, mix well. Rub 1 tbsp oil over the beef, then dredge beef with seasoning mixture. Let stand 1 hour at room temperature, covered. Heat remaining oil in a heavy large skillet over high heat, to just under smoking point. When hot, add beef and sear on all sides, turning every 2 minutes, about 10-12 minutes total (beef will be med-rare). Chill until cold, then wrap in plastic-wrap and freeze approx 1 hour. Slice semi-frozen meat with a VERY sharp knife as thinly as possible (Pound slices between layers of heavy plastic or wax paper until paper-thin, if needed). Lay slices of carpaccio on an oiled platter, either overlapping slices or rolling them and then arranging in a star burst (round) or rows (rectangular or odd-shaped platters). Whisk together lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a large bowl, then add oil in a slow stream, whisking until emulsified. Drizzle vinaigrette over layered or rolled carpaccio, then dress with the egg mixture.
BEEF CARPACCIO
This dish is from the 1950s in Harry's Bar, Venice, Italy and was named after the Italian painter Vittore Carpaccio, who was known for the reds and whites in his work. It was created on behalf of an aristocratic customer whose doctor had forbidden her to eat cooked meat. It has now become a favourite dish across the world. Cooking time is marinating time.

Steps:
- The beef should be totally cleaned of fat and sinew to leave you with between 1 1/2 - 1 3/4 lb of topside meat. Mix all the ingredients for the marinade, keeping a few leaves of basil for finish. Roll the beef in the marinade and leave to steep in the fridge for 4-5 days to achieve maximum flavor. The beef should be turned every day.
- After the marinating process, remove the meat to a baking sheet. The meat can now be frozen wrapped in plastic wrap and used later or even sliced from frozen. It can also be kept in the fridge wrapped in plastic wrap and sliced thinly with a sharp knife as you want it. The marinade should be sieved and used as the dressing. Chill until ready to plate.
- To serve the carpaccio, slice very thinly and place the slices on to a chilled plate, covering the whole surface. The remaining basil leaves can be chopped and added to the vinaigrette. Drizzle vinaigrette over the meat. Grind fresh black pepper on to the meat. The Parmesan can be sliced into shavings and laid on top or grated and served separately.

Tips:
- Choose the best beef. Select a high-quality piece of beef that is at least 1 inch thick. Look for a piece that is evenly marbled and has a fine grain.
- Freeze the beef before slicing. This will make it easier to slice the beef thinly and evenly. Freeze the beef for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.
- Use a sharp knife. A sharp knife will help you to slice the beef thinly and evenly. You can use a chef's knife or a slicing knife.
- Slice the beef against the grain. This will help to make the beef more tender. To slice the beef against the grain, hold the knife at a 45-degree angle to the cutting board and slice the beef in thin, even slices.
- Serve the beef carpaccio immediately. Beef carpaccio is best served immediately after it is made. If you need to store the beef carpaccio, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours.
Conclusion:
Beef carpaccio is a delicious and elegant appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make a perfect beef carpaccio that will impress your guests.
