Ingredients

  • Wagyu beef tenderloin (8 ounces, chilled)
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Black pepper (to taste)
  • Fresh parsley (2 tablespoons, finely chopped)
  • Parmesan cheese (2 ounces, shaved)
  • Capers (2 tablespoons, drained)
  • Dijon mustard (1 teaspoon)
  • Lemon juice (1 tablespoon, freshly squeezed)
  • Extra virgin olive oil (2 tablespoons)

Instructions

  1. Place the Wagyu beef tenderloin in the freezer for about 30 minutes to firm it up, making slicing easier.
  2. Using a very sharp knife, slice the beef as thinly as possible, aiming for paper-thin slices.
  3. Arrange the beef slices on a chilled serving platter, slightly overlapping them for an elegant presentation.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard until well combined to create a tangy vinaigrette.
  5. Drizzle the vinaigrette generously over the arranged beef slices.
  6. Scatter the capers, shaved Parmesan, and finely chopped parsley over the beef for added flavor and color.
  7. Season with salt and pepper to taste, enhancing the rich flavor of the Wagyu.
  8. Serve the carpaccio immediately while the beef is still chilled. Enjoy with crusty bread or as part of a larger antipasto platter.
