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
- Place the Wagyu beef tenderloin in the freezer for about 30 minutes to firm it up, making slicing easier.
- Using a very sharp knife, slice the beef as thinly as possible, aiming for paper-thin slices.
- Arrange the beef slices on a chilled serving platter, slightly overlapping them for an elegant presentation.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard until well combined to create a tangy vinaigrette.
- Drizzle the vinaigrette generously over the arranged beef slices.
- Scatter the capers, shaved Parmesan, and finely chopped parsley over the beef for added flavor and color.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, enhancing the rich flavor of the Wagyu.
- Serve the carpaccio immediately while the beef is still chilled. Enjoy with crusty bread or as part of a larger antipasto platter.
Tips
- For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of truffle oil over the finished dish.
- Pair this carpaccio with a crisp white wine, such as a Sauvignon Blanc, to enhance the dining experience.
- If Wagyu beef is unavailable, high-quality grass-fed beef can be used as an alternative, though the flavor and tenderness will differ.
