Method
Preparation Steps
- 1
Prepare the Beef
Wrap the beef tenderloin tightly in plastic wrap and place it in the freezer for about 1-2 hours, until firm but not frozen solid. This will make it easier to slice thinly.
- 2
Slice the Beef
Once the beef is firm, remove it from the freezer and unwrap it. Using a sharp knife, slice the tenderloin as thinly as possible. Arrange the slices on a large serving platter, slightly overlapping them.

Prepare the Salad
In a mixing bowl, combine the baby arugula, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Toss gently to coat the arugula evenly.

Assemble the Dish
Top the sliced beef with the dressed arugula. Use a vegetable peeler to shave the Grana Padano cheese over the top.

Serve
Drizzle a little extra olive oil over the dish, and serve immediately. Enjoy your Carpaccio alla Cipriani!
