Beef Carpaccio With Pears And Arugula Recipes

Steps:

• Rub the beef with olive oil and sprinkle all over with 2 teaspoons kosher salt and 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper. Heat a saute pan over high heat and sear the filet on all sides, turning it with tongs. Wrap the beef in plastic wrap and freeze for 2 hours, turning once to freeze evenly.
• Meanwhile, place the egg yolks, mustard, garlic, anchovies, lemon juice, 2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper in a food processor fitted with the steel blade and process for 15 seconds. Combine the 3/4 cup olive oil and the canola oil in a glass measuring cup. With the food processor running, slowly pour the oils down the feed tube in a thin stream. Add the grated Parmesan and pulse to combine.
• Remove the string from the beef and slice it very thin with a sharp slicing or smoked salmon knife. Place 5 slices on each dinner plate in a single layer. Drizzle the beef generously with the dressing and (in this order) sprinkle with the capers, kosher salt, pepper, arugula, shaved
• Parmesan, and sea salt. Serve at room temperature with a pitcher of extra dressing on the side.

Steps:

• Wrap beef in plastic, and chill in freezer until firm, about 1 hour. Using a very sharp knife, cut beef across the grain into 1/8-inch-thick slices. Gently pound slices between pieces of waxed paper. Refrigerate beef slices between pieces of waxed paper 1 hour (up to 2 hours).
• Whisk together oil, 2 teaspoons lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and a pinch of pepper in a medium bowl; set aside.
• Cut pears into 1/2-inch-thick wedges. Toss with 2 tablespoons lemon juice in a bowl. Arrange beef in a single layer on serving plates. Drizzle with oil, and season with salt and pepper.
• Toss arugula with the dressing, and arrange over beef. Arrange pears over arugula. Top with Parmesan; drizzle with oil, and season with salt and pepper. Serve with lemon wedges.

Steps:

• Trim the beef tenderloin of all fat, sinew and silver skin. Tightly wrap the beef in plastic wrap, and place in freezer until firm, about 2 hours.
• Remove the beef from the freezer, and slice it crosswise into 1/8-inch-thick rounds. Divide the sliced beef into 4 equal portions among 4 sheets of parchment. Arrange the slices for each portion into a round, like a four-leaf clover or a pansy, with each petal slightly overlapping the next. Place a clean sheet of parchment on top of each neatly arranged round, and with the heel of your hand or a rolling pin, gently press the meat into cracker-thin, uniform circles without tearing the meat, working quickly to keep the meat from warming. Transfer the parchment-covered portions and 4 plates to the refrigerator to chill.
• Set up a stovetop fryer by heating the neutral oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Attach a candy thermometer to the side of the fryer, and heat the oil until the gauge reads 325 degrees, about 7 minutes. Thoroughly and carefully drain, then pat-dry, the matchstick potatoes. Just before cooking the potatoes, increase the temperature to high in anticipation of the plummeting in temperature. Add the potatoes to the oil and cook, agitating with a spider or slotted spoon to ensure even cooking, until the potatoes are light and golden in color, 2 or 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the potatoes to a paper-towel-lined plate. Season with kosher salt and a few drops of truffle oil.
• Dress the arugula with lemon juice, a drizzle of olive oil, kosher salt and plenty of freshly cracked black pepper.
• To assemble, remove the top layer of parchment from a beef portion, turn the beef onto a chilled plate and carefully peel off the remaining parchment. Repeat with the remaining beef portions. Season the beef with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Pile the dressed arugula, Parmesan, then the warm matchstick potatoes on the beef in 4 even portions. Season with salt, pepper and several drops of truffle oil.

Steps:

• Bring balsamic vinegar to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat and reduce it to 1/2 cup, stir in the honey. Let cool.
• Toss arugula with vinegar and oil and season with salt and pepper to taste. Lay out 1 slice of beef on a flat surface. Place 1 slice of cheese and two tablespoons of the arugula in the middle of the beef and roll up tightly. Repeat with the remaining beef. Place on platter and drizzle with balsamic reduction.

• Hints & Clues
• · Carpaccio is thinly sliced beef tenderloin, but you can also have a carpaccio of any type of meat that is safe to eat raw or cured (such as bison, boar, or duck) or high-quality fish.
• · Ask your butcher to prepare the carpaccio for you if you are interested.
• · Arugula has a peppery flavor that goes well with the salty Parmesan and tangy taste of lemon, mustard, and mayonnaise.
• · Use a flat vegetable peeler to shave Parmesan cheese. Use the peeler like you're a peeling a carrot, or cucumber to make thin shaved strips.
• · It is common to coat carpaccio with lemon juice and olive oil before serving it. They not only help to bring out the taste, but help with freshness and color.

Steps:

• Trim the tenderloin of all visible fat and sinew. Wrap tightly in plastic and then place in the freezer for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
• Pick the most tender and succulent tips from the arugula and place in a bowl. Toss with the olive oil and 1 teaspoon of the lemon juice.
• Remove the tenderloin from the freezer and unwrap the plastic. Using your sharpest knife, slice the meat into 1/4-inch coins. Arrange the meat on a large platter in overlapping slices. Season generously with salt and cracked pepper. Dot the meat with the preserved pecorino and drizzle the marinating oil over all. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 teaspoon lemon juice. Mound the arugula in the center of the plate and serve.
