Carpaccio de Boeuf
Beef Carpaccio
Prep'Time : 15 minutes
Leave time : 30 minutes
Very easy
Very light

Carpaccio


Ingredients for 4 to 6 people :

- 600 gr [1.3 lb] beef fillet cut in very thin slices (like ham)
- 15 gr [3 oz] fresh grated parmesan cheese
- The juice of 1 big lemon
- 1 mushroom
- 3 Tspoons olive oil
- salt & pepper

This originally comes from Italy but we now often see it in our French Menus. It is a deserved success,
for a very light,
refined and fresh dish.

Recipe :

1- Display the beef slices on a large plate ; spread them with lemon juice, then turn them upside down and spread again with the left lemon juice, salt and pepper.
2- Leave it in fridge for 30 minutes to an hour so that the lemon will "cook" the meat (it will change color).
3- Clean the mushroom and thinly slice it.
4- When ready to serve, spread a few drops of lemon again, then the olive oil, then the grated parmesan
cheese, and finally a few slices of mushrooms.
5- Decorate with fresh basil leaves if you have some.

Serve fresh with a lettuce and French bread...

Cooking in lemon :

The meat is cooked by the lemon juice and this is why you need to leave the meat at least 30 minutes before serving. Still the meat will stay a little red, but this is the way it has to be !
