Which cut of beef to use for Seared Pepper Beef Carpaccio

Because beef carpaccio is served raw, you need to use a great quality cut of beef.

Ideally you want a beef fillet or beef tenderloin. The meat is super tender, melt in the mouth and buttery soft.

Let your butcher know that you will be using the beef for carpaccio.

What to serve with Seared Pepper Beef Carpaccio

Carpaccio is traditionally served as an appetizer. So it needs nothing more than some good olive oil and some fresh bread.

To make this into more of a salad, add extra arugula. If you have it some small cubes of beetroot are delicious as well.

Don’t skimp on the extra virgin olive oil, you want something rich and grassy with a nice bite to it.

Which wine to serve with seared pepper beef carpaccio

Although this is a beef dish, the usual red wines, don’t all work here. Beef Carpaccio is a light dish so wants to be paired with a lighter wine.

Try a light pinot noir, or go for a crisp sauvignon blanc. A prosecco would be perfect here, but my wine of choice for beef carpaccio is a medium bodied rose. If you can find it a Pinot Grigio rose is perfection here!

      It is great to make at home as it really stretches a smaller amount of beef fillet out.
      I hope you give it a go ๐Ÿ˜€
