Beef Carpaccio
Beef Carpaccio is a classic Italian dish made with beef fillet (tenderloin) served raw in super thin slices topped with peppery arugula, lots of zingy lemon, extra virgin olive oil and shavings of salty Grana Padano cheese. It's simple, elegant and so easy to make at home!

Ingredients
- 14 oz (400g) beef fillet (around 2 slices per person)
- 1/2 Juice of a lemon
- 2 handfuls arugula (rocket)
- Grana Padano cheese for shaving (Can also use Parmigiano Reggiano)
- salt and pepper (we like to use Maldon sea salt flakes)
- extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Cut the beef into thin slices about 1/4 inch (just over 1/2cm) thick. Place one slice of beef in between two sheets of baking parchment and pound thin using a meat mallet or rolling pin. Continue with the rest of the beef slices.
- Arrange the slices of beef on a serving plate and lightly season it the sea salt. Sprinkle over the arugula then squeeze over the lemon juice.
- Top with shavings of Grana Padano cheese (we use a vegetable peeler to do this), black pepper and a good drizzle of olive oil. Serve.

Notes
- Quantities - it's really easy to adjust the serving sizes for this recipe. You want about 2-3 large slices of beef carpaccio per person then add as much arugula, cheese, lemon and olive oil to taste.
- Use a sharp knife - this is an important tip for slicing your beef thin. If you struggle to slice thin slices just pound them thin in between parchment paper and cut them to size for serving.
