Recipe for Grilled Lemon Beef Carpaccio
Grilled Lemon Beef Carpaccio is an elegant dish made with thinly sliced beef marinated in lemon juice and quickly grilled. Garnished with extra-virgin olive oil and seasonings, it's perfect as an appetizer or light dish. Personalize it with Parmesan shavings, black pepper, and finely chopped herbs for a creative twist.
Instructions
- Start by cutting the beef into very thin slices, using a sharp knife or a meat slicer if available, to ensure uniformity and precision in the cuts.
- Arrange the beef slices in a single layer on a large serving dish, making sure they do not overlap.
- Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the beef, distributing it evenly to flavor each slice.
- Lightly sprinkle with fine salt, adjusting the amount to your personal taste.
- Preheat the oven grill to a high temperature and, when it's hot, place the dish with the beef under the grill for a few minutes, just enough time to achieve a light golden brown exterior while keeping the interior soft and succulent.
- Once grilled to perfection, remove the beef from the oven and drizzle it with a generous drizzle of extra virgin olive oil to enhance the flavors.
Notes
To add a creative twist to the traditional carpaccio recipe, I suggest garnishing the dish with thin shavings of Parmigiano Reggiano or Grana Padano and a light dusting of freshly ground black pepper. These ingredients will add depth to the flavor and a pleasant variation in texture. Carpaccio is a dish that offers endless creative possibilities; you can play with finely chopped aromatic herbs like basil or arugula to add freshness, or add a crunchy touch with toasted pine nuts or chopped walnuts. With these simple additions, you will make each bite even more surprising!
