Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1.5 lb beef fillet (beef tenderloin)
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons cracked black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups arugula
  • ¾ cup shaved parmesan
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Start by taking your beef fillet out of the refrigerator and letting it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
  2. Pat the beef dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
  3. Rub the beef fillet with 2 teaspoons of olive oil, ensuring it’s evenly coated. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of cracked black pepper and 1 teaspoon of salt over the entire surface of the beef.
  4. Heat a skillet over high heat until it’s smoking hot. Carefully place the seasoned beef fillet in the skillet using tongs. Sear for about 1-2 minutes on each side.
  5. Once seared, transfer the beef to a plate and let it rest for about 10 minutes. Slice the beef as thinly as possible.
  6. On a serving platter, arrange the beef slices in a circular pattern or overlapping them slightly. Scatter the arugula on top, then shower with shaved parmesan. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil.
  7. Serve immediately for the best experience.

Notes

  • Use a sharp knife for paper-thin slices.
  • Let the beef rest after searing to maximize juiciness.
  • Choose high-quality beef for the best flavor.
