Tips and Recommendations:
- Choose high-quality beef for the best flavor and texture. Beef tenderloin or sirloin is ideal for Carpaccio.
- To make the slicing easier, you can ask your butcher to thinly slice the beef for you.
- Adjust the lemon dressing to your taste. You can add a bit more lemon juice for extra zing or increase the garlic for added flavor.
- For added complexity, sprinkle some capers or finely chopped shallots over the Carpaccio.
- Serve with crusty bread or crostini to soak up any extra dressing.
