How to prepare Beef carpaccio with arugula and parmesan

To prepare beef carpaccio with arugula and parmesan, start with the citronette sauce; squeeze the lemons 1 and place the filtered juice in a bowl 2: add the oil 3,

salt, and ground pepper (4-5), then emulsify the sauce with the help of a whisk 6.

Once ready 7, put the sauce in a dispenser. Arrange the arugula on a serving plate, distributing it evenly 8, cut the meat into very thin slices with the help of a slicer, and distribute it over the arugula 9.

Add the cheese shavings 10, then finish with the citronette sauce 11 and some lemon slices. Finally, you can serve and enjoy your beef carpaccio with arugula and parmesan 12.

 

Storage

Tip

Want to add an extra kick to your citronette sauce? Try adding a tablespoon of mustard or mayonnaise.

Additionally, if you prefer, you can let the meat marinate with the sauce for about ten minutes (or more, according to taste) in the refrigerator: however, proceeding in this way, the meat will lose its natural pink color, turning into the color of cooked meat. After the marination time, remove the carpaccio from the refrigerator, add the arugula, the parmesan shavings, and serve by bringing oil, pepper, and salt to the table so that guests can add more seasoning if they wish!
