Beef Carpaccio Preparation
- 1
Slice the Beef
Wrap the prime beef tenderloin in plastic wrap and freeze for about 1 hour until firm but not frozen solid. This makes it easier to slice thinly.

Prepare the Carpaccio
Once firm, slice the beef as thinly as possible using a sharp knife. Arrange the slices on a chilled plate. Drizzle with olive oil, and season with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper.

Heat the Cream
