Bresaola Carpaccio With Gribiche Vinaigrette Recipes

BRESAOLA CARPACCIO WITH GRIBICHE VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Force eggs through a medium-mesh sieve into a small bowl using back of a spoon.
• Add radishes, capers, cornichons, and chives to eggs, then gently toss to combine.
• Whisk together lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a large bowl, then add oil in a slow stream, whisking until emulsified.
• Arrange slices of bresaola, overlapping slightly, to cover 4 large plates. Drizzle all but 1/2 tablespoon vinaigrette over meat, then sprinkle generously with egg mixture.
• Add arugula and cheese to remaining vinaigrette in bowl and toss to coat lightly. Mound salad in center of each plate.

BEET CARPACCIO WITH MINT VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Fill a pot with 3 inches of water, insert a steamer basket, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium or medium-low and place beets inside the steamer basket. Cover pot. Cook until beets are easily pierced with a knife, checking water level periodically, 35 to 50 minutes. Remove from heat and cool, about 30 minutes.
• Peel the beets; if you are using red and golden beets, peel the golden ones first so you don't end up turning them pink. Remove any remaining root stems. Thinly slice beets and arrange on a serving platter. I use a round plate and start in the center, alternating red and golden beet slices. Dot the top with goat cheese - you want to be able to see the beets but have enough cheese because it pairs so well with the beet. Sprinkle with sea salt and black pepper.
• Combine rice vinegar, olive oil, mint, and sugar in a small bowl. Drizzle over beets.

BRESAOLA AL CARPACCIO

Steps:

• Arrange bresaola slices, slightly overlapping on a large platter.
• Scatter mushrooms over bresaola, then sprinkle with parsley.
• Using a vegetable peeler, shave thin slivers of the cheese over bresaola.
• Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with black pepper.
• Serve with lemon wedges or squeeze lemon over all.

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.

BRESAOLA WITH ARUGULA, FENNEL, AND MANCHEGO CHEESE

Steps:

• Whisk olive oil and lemon juice in small bowl to blend; set dressing aside. Place 1 bresaola slice on work surface with 1 long side parallel to edge. Place 3 arugula leaves at 1 short end so that leaves extend past 1 long side. Top with layer of sliced fennel, then 2 cheese strips. Sprinkle with pepper. Drizzle with 1/2 teaspoon dressing. Starting at filled end, roll up bresaola, enclosing filling. Arrange, seam side down, on platter. Repeat with remaining ingredients to form 18 rolls total. (Can be made 4 hours ahead. Cover with plastic wrap; chill. Before serving, let stand 30 minutes at room temperature.)
