Method

To prepare the carpaccio, trim the beef well of fat and sinew. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and freeze for at least 30 minutes, or until very firm but not rock-solid. Remove the plastic wrap and using a very sharp, thin knife, slice the meat as thinly as possible. Place each slice between two layers of plastic wrap and lightly pound the slices to flatten them.
