A delicate and elegant dish featuring paper-thin slices of raw beef topped with fresh arugula and shaved Parmesan, perfect as a light meal or appetizer ready in under 20 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces (225 g) beef tenderloin or filet mignon, very fresh and sliced paper-thin
  • 2 cups (about 40 g) fresh arugula, washed
  • 1/2 cup (about 50 g) Parmesan cheese, shaved or thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon capers, drained (optional)
  • Sea salt to taste
  • Freshly cracked black pepper to taste
  • Optional garnish: thinly sliced red onion or chives

Instructions

  1. If beef isn’t pre-sliced, place tenderloin in freezer for 20-30 minutes until firm but not frozen solid. Slice beef as thinly as possible (about 1/8 inch or 3 mm thick). Lay slices flat on a large serving platter, slightly overlapping.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, a pinch of sea salt, and freshly cracked black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  3. Place arugula in a mixing bowl and drizzle with half the dressing. Toss gently to coat evenly.
  4. Pile dressed arugula over beef slices, spreading out but leaving some beef visible.
  5. Use a vegetable peeler to shave Parmesan cheese over arugula and beef.
  6. Scatter drained capers over the top if using.
  7. Drizzle remaining dressing over the entire dish.
  8. Sprinkle additional flaky sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste.
  9. Serve immediately, ideally with crusty bread or light crackers.

Notes

Use very fresh, high-quality beef from a trusted source. Keep beef chilled until just before serving. Slice beef thinly for best texture. Toss arugula lightly with dressing just before assembling to avoid wilting. Flaky sea salt enhances texture and flavor. Optional capers add briny bursts. Serve immediately for best freshness.
