Beef carpaccio with Parmigiano Reggiano and smoky aioli
Italian 10 Mins Prep
- Place the beef fillet in the freezer for 20–30 minutes until firm but not frozen, making it easier to slice.
- Using a sharp knife, slice the beef as thinly as possible, then arrange the slices between two sheets of baking paper. Gently flatten with a rolling pin until paper-thin. Peel away the top layer of paper, invert it onto a flat plate and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- To make the aioli, juice a lemon and mince the garlic. Add both to a bowl. Whisk together with the mayonnaise, mustard and liquid smoke until smooth.
- Peel back the final layer of baking paper to reveal the beef slices. Drizzle with olive oil and season with sea salt and black pepper. Spray with the balsamic vinegar 2 to 3 times.
- Dollop over the smoky aioli and scatter over the rocket. Using a peeler, shave the Parmigiano Reggiano and scatter over.
- Serve the beef carpaccio immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
