Beef Carpaccio Recipes

BEEF CARPACCIO

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.

FILET OF BEEF CARPACCIO

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
• Parmesan, and sea salt. Serve at room temperature with a pitcher of extra dressing on the side.

PAINTED CHEF'S CLASSIC BEEF CARPACCIO

Steps:

• In the container of a blender, combine the eggs, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, a pinch of salt and a dash of hot sauce. Cover and pulse to mix. Start the blender on medium speed and let run while pouring in the olive oil, and then the vegetable oil, in a thin continuous stream until the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a metal spoon. Pour in the Worcestershire sauce and blend for about 10 seconds more. Taste and adjust salt if needed.
• Arrange the frozen beef on a serving plate in a semi-circle. Drizzle the sauce over the meat. Garnish with capers and freshly ground black pepper and squeeze a little lemon juice over the top. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

Top with another piece of plastic and gently pound the meat with a meat mallet until paper thin. Repeat until all of the meat is sliced and pounded. Divide the meat evenly among 4 chilled plates.

BEEF CARPACCIO

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.

Steps:

• Cut the beef fillet into thin slices. 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 handfuls of rocket on serving plates or on one large plate and arrange the beef carpaccio slices on top.
• Squeeze lemon juice over the the beef slices and then drizzle with olive oil. Finally top with shavings of Parmesan and a sprinkle of salt and pepper.

EASY BEEF CARPACCIO

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.

EASY BEEF CARPACCIO WITH ARUGULA RECIPE

Steps:

• Wrap beef tenderloin in plastic wrap, and chill in freezer for 1 hour. Using a very sharp knife, cut beef across the grain into 1/8-inch-thick slices. Place slices between sheets of plastic wrap or wax paper and gently pound with the flat end of a meat mallet, or roll with a heavy rolling pin until paper-thin.
• Arrange slices on 6 individual chilled plates. Add arugula to a bowl and toss with 4 tablespoons of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Arrange arugula in a pile in the center of each plate.
• Place remaining 4 tablespoons oil, lemon juice, mustard, egg yolk, salt and pepper in a 2-cup measure. Use an immersion blender or hand blender to mix until thick. 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.
