directions
Step 1
Place tenderloin into the freezer for about 15 minutes, until it is firm and slightly frozen. It will be easier to slice when it’s partially frozen.
Step 2
Toss arugula and red onion with the juice of one lemon half and ¼ cup of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 3
Arrange 4 plates on the counter top. Slice the beef with a sharp knife into very thin slices, laying them directly onto each plate as they are sliced, overlapping slightly and working in the centre of the plate. Drizzle each serving with 1 tbsp of the olive oil and garnish with a handful of the dressed arugula, pecorino shavings and salt and cracked black pepper. Serve immediately.
