Appetizers - Marinated Beef Steak at Home, The Best Carpaccio by Luminita G. - Recipia

Carpaccio is a refined dish that generally refers to any type of meat, vegetables, or fruits sliced into extremely thin slices. However, beef is the most popular choice due to its delicate flavor and fine texture. It is considered healthier compared to other types of meat, as the fat is distributed differently, being concentrated at the edges, which allows for better shaping and preparation. To prepare beef carpaccio, we can use various parts of the animal, the most common being the tenderloin, flank steak, ribeye, sirloin, and round. We start by trimming the piece of meat, removing any unwanted skin or fat. It is important to cut the meat into the desired shape to achieve an aesthetic result on the plate. After cleaning the meat, we let it drain to remove the blood, but not before preparing the marinade. The marinade is essential for adding flavor and tenderizing the meat. In a container, we mix various spices to taste, adding enough vinegar to cover the meat three-quarters of the way. It is important to seal the container tightly and leave the meat in the fridge, preferably between 3 days and a week. During this period, it is recommended to turn the meat once a day to allow the flavors to penetrate evenly. After at least three days, the meat is ready to be consumed. There are several ways to enjoy this delicacy. First, we can slice the meat into extremely thin slices, and to achieve perfect transparency, we can leave it overnight in the freezer before slicing. This will turn the slices into true culinary works of art. If you are adventurous, you can choose to dry or smoke the meat. If you have access to a well-ventilated attic or a smoker, roll the meat in your favorite spices, making sure that thyme is included, as it is the best friend of beef. This method adds an extra layer of flavor and complexity to the dish. Finally, although it is a less common approach, the meat can be boiled in a mixture of water and marinade. However, to preserve as many of the original characteristics of the meat as possible, this method is often considered a loss. Therefore, exploring the options for preparing carpaccio will always bring new surprises and culinary satisfactions.
