Carpaccio

Truffle Aioli

Method

Preparation

1

Prepare the Bison

Wrap the bison tenderloin in plastic wrap and freeze for about 1-2 hours until firm. This will make it easier to slice thinly.

2

Make the Truffle Aioli

In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, truffle oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, and salt. Mix well until smooth and set aside.

3

Slice the Bison

Once the bison is firm, remove from the freezer and slice thinly against the grain using a sharp knife.

4

Prepare the Plate

Arrange the bison slices on a serving plate, slightly overlapping. Sprinkle the pink peppercorns on top.

5

Garnish

Drizzle olive oil over the bison, then scatter shaved parmesan, arugula, and capers on top.

6

Serve

Serve the carpaccio with a side of truffle aioli for dipping.
