👨‍🍳 Method

  1. 1
    Wrap the meat in plastic wrap and freeze 30 minutes, until it firms up a little and is easy to slice.

  2. 2
    Cut the meat against the grain into paper-thin slices.

  3. 3
    Arrange the slices close together in a single layer on a sheet of plastic wrap, cover with another sheet and pound gently with the flat side of a meat mallet, until the meat is thin and spread out, without tearing.

  4. 4
    Peel off the top sheet of plastic, flip the meat onto a cold plate and peel off the second sheet.
  5. 5
    Drizzle the lemon juice over the top, then the olive oil, and sprinkle the salt and black pepper.
    💡Dress just before serving: the acid "cooks" the raw meat, and after a short time it loses its color and freshness. The acid goes on before the oil, so it has time to penetrate the meat a little.
  6. 6
    Sprinkle the arugula, Parmesan and capers on top and serve immediately.
