Ingredients
Carpaccio- 3 Pounds of boned shell of beef
- Salt
Carpaccio Sauce
- 3/4 cup homemade mayonnaise
- 1 to 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce, to taste
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 to 3 tablespoons milk
- Salt
- Freshly ground white pepper
Directions
Trim every bit of fat and gristle from the boned shell of the beef leaving a small amount of tender meat. Chill the meat in a freezer for a few minutes, then take a razor sharp knife and slice the meat paper thin. Arrange the slices on small salad plates. Put the mayonnaise in a bowl and whisk the Worcestershire sauce and lemon juice. Whisk in the milk to make a thin sauce that provides coating. Add salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle the sauce over the meat in ribbons and serve immediately.
