Creating a Dinner Menu, this is my Beef Carpaccio on a Bed of Mesclun. The beef should be rarer than that in my opinion, i couldn't find a nice thick beef fillet so I bought a beef medallion from the tenderloin instead. I must have estimated the time a little wrongly but no worries, I know how much time now, it'll be awesome. I only used arugula, which i think does the job perfectly. This salad has a spicy kick to it as well as thai-japanese infused taste :)
As you can see, the beef is cooked perfectly but I want it rarer for this dish.

6 Responses to "Salad: Beef Carpaccio on a Bed of Mesclun"I always like my beef medium-well. But some medium-well that's served in restaurants can be quite "bloody".
Yea, but I wanted the beef to have a rarer center because that's what carpaccio is about actually...something red. That beef was hardly red enough although it tasted pretty good :)
well - i recon what you suggested - tho i dont cook beef tho :)
Im Indian lawl ehehe
Can you replace that with venison or sumthing ?
Hi Sasi,
Yes you can replace beef with venison or lamb. However, these meat tend to taste rather gamey. To avoid that strong gamey taste, just marinate your meat with ginger juice before you season it with the other ingredients.
Hope this helps :)
Must admit, never been brave enough to make beef carpaccio here. I noticed radishes in your salad, any taste to them or are they just crunchy?
boo_licious: Don't worry about making beef carpaccio. The bacteria and what not that causes food poisoining or E.Coli infection lives on the outside of the beef. So if you sear your beef on the outside first, you'll be fine...:) With except are burger patties though, where the meat are all minced up and combined. Now that would be an issue if you're gonna eat a contaminated beef raw like Steak Tartare. But otherwise, it's all good.
Radishes, if you eat them whole raw like that, they have a stingy spicy taste that's a bit bitter. And yea, they're very crunchy too. They sort of have a very mild wasabi taste.
But if you eat them with dips and dressing, they are good. When sliced like that in my salad, they're mild and compliment flavors well.
