The Perfect Pair
Recipe: Beef Carpaccio
Here's a simple yet delicious beef carpaccio that'll pair beautifully with your Valentine's rosé.
Ingredients:
- 300g premium beef fillet
- A drizzle of McLaren Vale extra virgin olive oil
- A pinch of sea salt and cracked black pepper
- A handful of fresh rocket (or Lincoln weed / wild Australian rocket that grows in many vineyards in McLaren Vale)
- Parmesan shavings, as generous as you like
- A dash of lemon juice, for that zest
- Capers, to taste.
Method:
1. First wrap the beef in Glad/Cling Wrap and chill in the freezer for about 20 minutes to an hour. Once it is a firm texture it will make slicing easier.
2. Thinly slice the beef across the grain. Lay the slices out on a plate, cover with Glad/Cling Wrap, and give them a gentle press with a rolling pin or the bottom of a pan to get them tissue paper thin.
3. Arrange the beef on your serving dish. Now, drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Toss the rocket with a bit of olive oil and lemon juice, then scatter over the beef. Add Parmesan shavings and capers to round it all off with some freshly cracked pepper.
5. Serve with a chilled glass of rosé and watch the magic happen.
Enjoy!
Cheers
