Beef Carpaccio

Ingredients

• 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
• 14 oz (400g) beef fillet ((around 2 slices per person))
• 1/2 juice of a lemon

Steps

1. 1

   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.

2. 2

   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.

3. 3

   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.
