Ingredients

8 to 10 ounces beef tenderloin from the tip end of the roast
4 handfuls arugula or mixed greens
Your favorite vinaigrette
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Shaved Parmesan

Directions

Wrap the tenderloin in plastic wrap and place in the freezer for 2 hours.

After 2 hours, unwrap the tenderloin and thinly slice the beef into approximately into 1/8 to 1/4-inch pieces. Lay out sheets of plastic wrap and place each slice onto the plastic. Top with another piece of plastic and gently pound the meat with a meat mallet until paper thin. Repeat until all of the meat is sliced and pounded. Divide the meat evenly among 4 chilled plates. Serve with greens tossed with vinaigrette, salt, pepper and/or Parmesan.

Perfect Summer Meal
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

It was always the technique for this dish that prevented me from making it; only enjoying it in restaurants. I made this and... added a dijon vinaigrette with some roasted vegges on the side and a few rings of red onion and now my husband wants this every week! It's terrific and especially good for us low-carb afficionados.Read more

As good as restaurant carpaccio
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Fast, easy and simply delicious. Had it in a five-star restaurant and wanted to duplicate it at home. Job well done. I... serve it with a wasabi horseradish mayo mix as well as a vinegarette. Wonderful app for company as well as Sunday night football fare. The slicing of the meat was a little tricky at first, but well worth the effort. THANKS!Read more
