Ingredients
- 300 g Beef tenderloin (center-cut)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Fish sauce (gluten‑free)
- 1 small Thai red chili (finely sliced)
- 1 tablespoon Extra‑virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro leaves
- 2 tablespoons Red onion (thinly sliced)
- 1 pinch Sea salt
- 1 pinch Black pepper (freshly ground)
Instructions
- 1
Place the beef tenderloin in the freezer for 15‑20 minutes until firm but not frozen; this makes it easier to slice paper‑thin.
- 2
Using a sharp knife, slice the beef against the grain into ultra‑thin ribbons and arrange them in a single layer on a chilled serving plate.
- 3
In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, fish sauce, olive oil, sliced chili, salt, and pepper to create the dressing.
- 4
Drizzle the dressing evenly over the beef carpaccio, then garnish with cilantro leaves and red onion slices.
- 5
Serve immediately at room temperature.
