Beef Carpaccio With Pomegranate Food

FILET OF BEEF CARPACCIO

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.

BEEF CARPACCIO

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.

BEEF CARPACCIO WITH PROSCIUTTO, WATERCRESS, GOAT CHEESE, AND BLOOD ORANGE OIL

Steps:

• Lay the out the prosciutto in 4 pairs of 2 pieces that are partially overlapping lengthwise. In a bowl toss the watercress with the oil, salt, and pepper. Divide the watercress equally in mounds placed at the end of the prosciutto slices. Wrap the prosciutto around the watercress and roll them up as tight as possible without bruising the watercress. Set aside. Slicing against the grain cut the beef into 8 equal slices. Lay each piece between 2 pieces of plastic wrap and lightly pound into tender thin pieces with a mallet or the side of a heavy knife or a wine bottle (with cork in it!).
• Lay 2 pieces on each of the 4 salad plates. Drizzle the meat with the oil and season with salt and pepper. Place a roll of the prosciutto and watercress next to the beef. Place 1 (2-ounce) spoonful of the fresh goat cheese nestled between the beef and roulade. Garnish with the apple slices.

BEEF CARPACCIO

Steps:

• Chill 8 serving plates. Place meat in freezer about 10 minutes.
• Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, shallots, salt, and pepper in a small bowl and reserve.
• Slice cold beef across grain into 1/8-inch slices. Then place each slice, one at a time, between 2 sheets of plastic wrap and, using the smooth side of a meat pounder, flatten by gently pounding and pressing back and forth. Work from center out. Keep turning to flatten it evenly to about 1/16 inch. (You should spend about a minute on each slice.)
• Entirely cover each chilled plate with thin slices of beef. (At this stage, you can cover with plastic wrap and reserve in refrigerator for several hours.) Carefully spoon reserved dressing over meat to evenly cover. Garnish with Parmesan strips and chives, and serve immediately.

ROAST BEEF CARPACCIO WITH GORGONZOLA POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a medium pot of cold salted water. Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook until fork-tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water; transfer to a large bowl.
• Pulse 1/2 cup gorgonzola, the parmesan, yogurt, garlic and 1/4 cup water in a blender or mini food processor until smooth; season with salt and pepper. Add half of the dressing to the potatoes along with the salad blend, Peppadews and parsley; toss.
• Arrange the roast beef on four plates. Serve the salad on the side, topped with the remaining dressing and 1/2 cup gorgonzola.
