Prepare the Beef
Wrap the beef tenderloin in plastic wrap and place it in the freezer for about 1 hour until firm. This will make it easier to slice thinly.

Slice the Beef
Once the beef is firm, remove it from the freezer and slice it as thinly as possible with a sharp knife. Arrange the slices on a large serving plate, slightly overlapping them.
