  • About

Another great reviver, this dish was invented by Harry, of the Cipriani in Venice, to bring back to life guests who had overindulged in his Bellinis!. If you almost freeze the meat first you will be able to cut it very thinly.

Ingredients

  • 500 g fillet steak
  • good olive oil
  • salt and pepper
  • juice of 1

Method

With a sharp knife, very finely slice the beef and lay it on a dish or individual plates. Pour on a good helping of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Pour over the lemon juice and, just before serving, decorate with the capers.

Serve with good bread and/or a rocket salad.
