Description
The classic invention from Harry's Bar in Venice gets a gentle and respectful upgrade, to make a lighter and even more elegant appetizer.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 high quality NY steaks sliced very thinly (tell your butcher it’s for Carpaccio)
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
- 2 large oranges (segmented)
- 1/2 cup fresh arugula
- Shave of Parmigiano-Reggiano to taste
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- Sea salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Trim off the very top and bottom of the orange with a sharp knife.
- Set the fruit on end, and cut the skin from its flesh, beginning at the top and following the curves.
- Cut out each section of the fruit by inserting the blade of the knife between the flesh and the membrane on each side.
- The wedges should come out easily, leaving the membrane intact. Transfer on a dry plate, discard excesses of juices, cover and refrigerate of 30 minutes.
- In a medium bowl combine the lemon and orange juices, add olive oil, salt and pepper and whisk together.
ASSEMBLING
- Place the arugula on a serving plate. Dip each slice of meat in the vinaigrette and then wrap it around the orange segment leaving some of the meat flat on the plate.
- Repeat this step until you fill the large serving plate.
- Drizzle the rest of the vinaigrette on top the meat and orange segments.
- Shave and crumble some Parmigiano-Reggiano, grind some black pepper, and sprinkle with sea salt flakes to taste.
