Ingredients:
250 g beef fillets, you'll need a nice thick piece of centre cut rocket leaves parmesan, shaved
Dressing:
2 egg yolks 85 ml olive oil Half lemon, juiced Half tsp mustard
Method:
1. Put the beef into the freezer for 30 minutes to firm it up and make it easier to slice.
2. Meanwhile, to make the dressing, put the egg yolks in a blender or mini processor (or use a hand whisk) and add the olive oil in a steady stream. Season with lemon juice, mustard, salt and pepper and mix well.
3. Take the beef out of the freezer. Using a very sharp, large knife, cut slices as thinly as you can. Lay these on a plate and cover them with clingfilm as you cut to stop them colouring. If you put a layer of baking parchment or clingfilm between the layers you'll easily be able to separate them out easily later.
4. To serve, plate the beef slices on a platter or individual plates, heap some rocket leaves in the middle and drizzle the dressing around the edge. Finish with parmesan shavings.
Enjoy!
Recommended wine:
Brovia Dolcetto d'Alba Vigna Villej (2008)
It is a traditional Dolcetto that emphasises well the characteristics of a wine obtained from a careful and powerful vinification. The color is ruby with violet reflections.
