Carpaccio of beef with Harry’s Bar dressing

Carpaccio of beef with a Harry’s Bar dressing is a wonderful summer lunch menu. Easy to make and exceedingly tasty. It never fails to impress. It helps if you know your butcher as the quality of the beef fillet should be first rate.





Ingredients ( serves 6 )

For the beef 

400g of top quality beef finely sliced.

For the dressing 

185 ml home-made mayonnaise
1-2t sp Worcestershire sauce, to taste
1tsp fresh lemon juice
2 to 3 tbsp milk
salt, freshly ground black pepper

Serve with shavings of Parmigiana cheese and  fresh sunflower shoots ( or sweet pea shoots) . 

Method

Put the mayonnaise in a bowl and whisk in the Worcestershire sauce and lemon juice. Whisk in 
enough milk to make a thin sauce that just coats the back of a wooden spoon. Taste the sauce and 
adjust the seasoning with some salt and pepper adding more Worcestershire sauce as required. 

The dressing should be poured over the beef just before serving along with parmigiana shavings and green sunflower  shoots on top. 

Wine - serve with a nice rosé or white  muscadet.
