This elegant and flavorful appetizer is often served with a variety of dressings and garnishes to enhance its savory taste and delicate texture. Whether you're hosting a dinner party or enjoying a simple meal at home, this recipe is sure to impress.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Freeze the beef for about 30-45 minutes until firm but not solid. This will make it easier to slice thinly.
- Once firm, slice the beef as thinly as possible. You may use a very sharp knife or a meat slicer if available.
- Lay the slices between two pieces of plastic wrap and gently pound with a meat mallet until paper thin. Put the beef slices on a serving plate, slightly overlapping them if necessary.
- In a small bowl, combine the egg yolk, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice (63g).
- Slowly drizzle in the olive oil (72g) while whisking continuously to create a creamy emulsion.
- Add the heavy whipping cream (30g) to the mixture and whisk until smooth.
- Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
- If desired, zest the lemon (110g) and add a small amount to the dressing for extra lemony aroma.
- Drizzle the prepared dressing evenly over the thin slices of beef.
- Squeeze the juice from the remaining lemon (110g) over the beef slices for added freshness.
- You can enhance your Carpaccio with additional toppings such as capers, arugula, shaved Parmesan cheese, or thinly sliced red onions.
- Serve the beef Carpaccio immediately as an appetizer with crusty bread or on its own.
Tips:
- Make sure to use the highest quality beef you can find, preferably grass-fed and organic, for the best flavor and texture.
- Freeze the beef slightly before slicing to make it easier to cut thinly.
- Use a sharp knife to achieve uniformly thin slices.
- Serve the Carpaccio immediately after preparation to enjoy the fresh flavors and textures.
- Garnish with additional toppings like capers, arugula, or shaved Parmesan for an extra burst of flavor.
