FAQ
Carpaccio uses raw beef and risks are real but manageable. The key is meat quality: beef tenderloin from a trusted supplier, ideally hygienically certified. The outer surface carries the highest risk (bacteria live on the outside), so the piece is often briefly seared on the outside or marinated in acid (lemon juice). Vulnerable groups — pregnant women, elderly, immunocompromised — should avoid raw meat.

Freeze the beef for 30 minutes before slicing this carpaccio. Partially frozen meat is the only way to achieve those paper-thin slices with a regular knife. Room temperature beef tears and shreds instead of cutting cleanly.
