"For me, a classic beef carpaccio is one of the easiest yet elegant wins in the kitchen. It's a true classic that is especially rewarding to those who go for the best ingredients. The meat is raw after all, so, skip the supermarket aisle when it comes to the beef tenderloin, and head to your butcher. You should also make sure the olive oil and the rest are also of top quality. The classic version is already perfect, but go ahead and experiment a little: Toasted pine nuts or fried capers are a dream additions, or you can simply swap the lemon juice for some balsamic vinegar."

Step 1/3
- 150 g beef tenderloin
- freezer bag
- cutting board
- fillet knife
Place beef tenderloin in the freezer for approx. 2 hrs. until it is firm but not frozen. Then, use a sharp knife to slice it as thinly as possible.
Step 2/3
- plastic wrap
- meat tenderizer
- frying pan (optional)
Spread thin slices of meat on plastic wrap, leaving some space in between the pieces. Place a second layer of wrap over it. Next, carefully pound the meat with a meat mallet or the bottom of a frying pan to a thickness of approx. 1 mm/ 0.04 in.
Step 3/3
- 5 tbsp olive oil
- ½ lemon
- 30 g arugula
- 40 g Parmesan cheese
- sea salt
- pepper
Remove the top layer of plastic wrap and carefully arrange meat slices on a large plate. Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice, top with arugula and shave Parmesan on top. Season with salt and pepper to taste. If desired, add a little lemon zest to refine it even further.
