Beef Carpaccio

Garlic Aioli

Pickled Sweet Peppers

Crispy Shallots

Method

Beef Carpaccio

1

Prepare the Beef

Wrap the eye of round beef tightly in plastic wrap and freeze for about 1-2 hours until firm, but not completely frozen.

2

Slice the Beef

Once the beef is firm, remove it from the freezer. Using a very sharp knife, slice the beef as thinly as possible. Arrange the slices on a chilled plate, slightly overlapping them. Season with salt and black pepper, and drizzle with olive oil.

3

Add Parmesan

Sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the arranged beef slices.

Garlic Aioli

4

Prepare the Aioli

In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, minced garlic cloves, lemon juice, and salt. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined. Adjust salt to taste.

Pickled Sweet Peppers

5

Prepare the Pickling Liquid

In a saucepan, combine white vinegar, sugar, and salt. Bring to a simmer on medium heat, stirring until sugar and salt dissolve.

6

Pickle the Peppers

Slice the sweet peppers into rings and add them to the pickling liquid. Remove from heat and let them cool. Once cooled, transfer to a jar and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.

Crispy Shallots

7

Prepare the Shallots

Slice shallots thinly and toss them in flour mixed with salt.

8

Fry the Shallots

In a deep skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the floured shallots in batches and fry until golden brown and crispy. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.
