Beef Carpaccio With Orange Olive Salsa And Shaved Cheese Recipes

Steps:

• For salsa:
• Using small sharp knife, cut off peel and white pith from oranges. Working over medium bowl, cut between membranes to release sections. Cut each section crosswise into 4 pieces and add to bowl. Mix in remaining ingredients. Cover; chill at least 1 hour and up to 4 hours.
• For carpaccio:
• Combine first 4 ingredients and lavender, if using, in mortar and coarsely crush with pestle (or place in resealable plastic bag and coarsely crush with rolling pin).
• Rub 1 tablespoon oil over beef, then coat beef with spice mixture. Let stand 1 hour at room temperature.
• Heat 3 tablespoons oil in heavy large skillet over high heat. Add beef and sear on all sides, turning every 2 minutes, about 12 minutes total (beef will be rare in center). Chill until cold, then wrap in plastic and freeze 1 hour.
• Slice meat as thinly as possible (sliced meat can be pounded between layers of waxed paper until paper-thin, if desired). Toss arugula with juices from salsa and mound on platter. Top with salsa. Surround with meat and cheese.

Steps:

• 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.

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:

• Make sure that the fillet is completely thawed and that it is standing at approximately room temperature. Spread the coriander seeds, green peppercorns on a cutting board and cover with a tablecloth. Using a bottom of a pan or a meat pounder smash the seeds and the peppercorns. Remove the table cloth, you should see no seed or pepper corn still intact. Sprinkle a generous amount of salt over the cutting board and add some freshly ground pepper. Spread the mix so that it is evenly spread out all over the cutting board.
• Place the fillet on the cutting board and roll and press the fillet of beef over the mixture and make sure that the mixture sticks with the beef. Once that is done, drizzle some olive oil on the fillet and ensure that the beef is now covered with a thin layer of oil. Leave the meat on the cutting board to absorb some of the flavours. In the mean time, get hold of a big grill pan or a ridged pan, and why not, you can do this even on a BBQ. Get the pan on medium-high heat and let it get very hot. Once it is hot, place the meat in the pan and sear the meat till it becomes brown and crisp on all sides. Should not take more then 5-10 minutes, rolling the fillet frequently so that the brown colour is uniform throughout the whole piece of fillet. With that done, turn off the burner and take the meat of the pan and put it on a cutting board to rest for 10 minutes.
• After the 10 minutes are over, start to slowly slice the fillet in thin slices, you should aim for slices less then 2mm in thickness. Get a big plate out, and spread the slices evenly to cover all the plate. Now its time to add some extra flavours in the mix. Drizzle the balsamic vinegar, sesame oil, soy sauce. Tear apart the Parma ham slices and sprinkle the parmesan shavings on top.
