Besides its elegant look, families love how simple yet impressive it feels on any table—smart plating with paper-thin slices and a generous finish of parmesan cheese means every bite looks (and tastes) special. Everything about this dish says Italian celebration: fresh arugula adds those peppery notes, while a touch of carpaccio dressing and an olive oil drizzle wakes up all the flavors. That little bit of lemon juice seasoning pulls the whole plate together, making those natural beef flavors pop...hard to resist when hosting friends or treating family to something a little different. Weeknight dinners, party starters, holiday parties—this one feels just right everywhere.

Fit for weekend gatherings, lunches, or starter platters at bigger celebrations, the nice flexible style means everyone can top with extra Parmesan, a quick extra splash of zesty lemon juice seasoning, or some more olive oil drizzle (makes it even more moist and tasty for little ones). Sometimes, switching to mixed greens or adding truffle oil creates a fun twist—so families customize to match their own favorite flavors. Even for fans of raw beef recipes, this thin, fresh style with just the right balance of topping is DELICIOUS.

Calories per serving

Beef filet 0.9 lb (400 g)

Grana Padano PDO cheese 3.5 oz (100 g) - shaved

Arugula 5 cups (100 g)

for the citronette sauce: Lemon juice ¼ cup (70 g); Extra virgin olive oil 6.8 tbsp (100 ml); Fine salt to taste; Black pepper to taste

Preparation

How to prepare Beef carpaccio with arugula and parmesan

To prepare beef carpaccio with arugula and parmesan, start with the citronette sauce; squeeze the lemons 1 and place the filtered juice in a bowl 2: add the oil 3,

salt, and ground pepper (4-5), then emulsify the sauce with the help of a whisk 6.

Once ready 7, put the sauce in a dispenser. Arrange the arugula on a serving plate, distributing it evenly 8, cut the meat into very thin slices with the help of a slicer, and distribute it over the arugula 9.

Add the cheese shavings 10, then finish with the citronette sauce 11 and some lemon slices. Finally, you can serve and enjoy your beef carpaccio with arugula and parmesan 12.

Storage

It is recommended to consume beef carpaccio with arugula and parmesan immediately. You can store it for up to one day.

Tip

Want to add an extra kick to your citronette sauce? Try adding a tablespoon of mustard or mayonnaise.

Additionally, if you prefer, you can let the meat marinate with the sauce for about ten minutes (or more, according to taste) in the refrigerator: however, proceeding in this way, the meat will lose its natural pink color, turning into the color of cooked meat. After the marination time, remove the carpaccio from the refrigerator, add the arugula, the parmesan shavings, and serve by bringing oil, pepper, and salt to the table so that guests can add more seasoning if they wish!
