Préparation
Prepare the Beef for a Truffled Beef Carpaccio
Carefully arrange the thin slices of carpaccio on two large, well-chilled plates, slightly overlapping them to form a regular rosette. This plating enhances the delicacy of the meat and achieves a clean presentation, worthy of a gourmet truffle starter.
Season the Carpaccio Delicately
Drizzle a generous amount of truffle olive oil over the meat, then add blue Persian salt with truffle and a twist of pepper. This seasoning should remain precise and measured to reveal the delicate flavor of the beef without overpowering it, while introducing the subtle aroma of summer truffle.
Add Parmesan, Young Shoots, and Figs
Sprinkle the plates with shavings of Parmesan to add depth and character, then add a few young shoots for freshness. Next, cut the fig into thin wedges and arrange them harmoniously on the meat. The combination creates a careful balance of creaminess, crunch, summer freshness, and fruity sweetness.
Finish with Truffle Slices
Using a mandoline or a sharp knife, slice the summer truffle into thin shavings and distribute them over the carpaccio just before serving. For a more indulgent touch, add a few drops of acacia honey with truffle. This finishing touch extends the aromatic dimension and completes an easy gourmet carpaccio recipe.
Astuce(s) du Chef Plantin
For an even more pronounced aromatic intensity, add a few drops of acacia honey to the Plantin summer truffle. The sweet touch pairs perfectly with fig and raw beef.

What meat to choose for beef carpaccio?
Beef tenderloin is the most suitable cut for making carpaccio. Its tender texture and delicate flavor allow for thin, melt-in-your-mouth slices.
Which truffle to use for carpaccio?
Summer truffle is ideal for accompanying beef carpaccio. Its light and slightly nutty aroma pairs perfectly with the finesse of raw meat.
How to cut meat very thinly for carpaccio?
To achieve very thin slices, it is advisable to place the beef tenderloin in the freezer for 20 to 30 minutes before cutting. This makes it easier to slice with a sharp knife or a slicer.
Can beef carpaccio be prepared in advance?
Carpaccio is ideally prepared just before serving to preserve the freshness of the meat and the aroma of the truffle. Seasoning should be added at the last moment.
