Steps:
- Rub the beef with olive oil and sprinkle all over with 2 teaspoons kosher salt and 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper. Heat a saute pan over high heat and sear the filet on all sides, turning it with tongs. Wrap the beef in plastic wrap and freeze for 2 hours, turning once to freeze evenly.
- Meanwhile, place the egg yolks, mustard, garlic, anchovies, lemon juice, 2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper in a food processor fitted with the steel blade and process for 15 seconds. Combine the 3/4 cup olive oil and the canola oil in a glass measuring cup. With the food processor running, slowly pour the oils down the feed tube in a thin stream. Add the grated Parmesan and pulse to combine.

BEEF CARPACCIO
Beef tenderloin is called for here as it will unfailingly yield the tenderest carpaccio. It is a long, slender, tapered muscle that runs under the ribs and close to the back bone, and as such is, in a way, shielded from being worked very hard, unlike cuts lower on the animal. As for all of us, the closer to the ground the muscle lives, the tougher becomes the work. Some chefs have a real affinity for the harder-working muscles. Top round, for example, is also often called for in carpaccio recipes and is cut from a muscle that has to work harder, and therefore, is thought to have more character, and more flavor. I would gently warn that harder-working muscles come with a little more "chew." Try it here, as written, with sure success, then explore other cuts if you're interested.

Steps:
- Trim the beef tenderloin of all fat, sinew and silver skin. Tightly wrap the beef in plastic wrap, and place in freezer until firm, about 2 hours.
- Remove the beef from the freezer, and slice it crosswise into 1/8-inch-thick rounds. Divide the sliced beef into 4 equal portions among 4 sheets of parchment. Arrange the slices for each portion into a round, like a four-leaf clover or a pansy, with each petal slightly overlapping the next. Place a clean sheet of parchment on top of each neatly arranged round, and with the heel of your hand or a rolling pin, gently press the meat into cracker-thin, uniform circles without tearing the meat, working quickly to keep the meat from warming. Transfer the parchment-covered portions and 4 plates to the refrigerator to chill.
- Set up a stovetop fryer by heating the neutral oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Attach a candy thermometer to the side of the fryer, and heat the oil until the gauge reads 325 degrees, about 7 minutes. Thoroughly and carefully drain, then pat-dry, the matchstick potatoes. Just before cooking the potatoes, increase the temperature to high in anticipation of the plummeting in temperature. Add the potatoes to the oil and cook, agitating with a spider or slotted spoon to ensure even cooking, until the potatoes are light and golden in color, 2 or 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the potatoes to a paper-towel-lined plate. Season with kosher salt and a few drops of truffle oil.
- Dress the arugula with lemon juice, a drizzle of olive oil, kosher salt and plenty of freshly cracked black pepper.
- To assemble, remove the top layer of parchment from a beef portion, turn the beef onto a chilled plate and carefully peel off the remaining parchment. Repeat with the remaining beef portions. Season the beef with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Pile the dressed arugula, Parmesan, then the warm matchstick potatoes on the beef in 4 even portions. Season with salt, pepper and several drops of truffle oil.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use high-quality ingredients, including freshly ground black pepper and good-quality olive oil.
- Chill the beef carpaccio and black truffle vinaigrette before serving to ensure they are nice and cold.
- If you don't have a meat slicer, you can freeze the beef for 30 minutes to make it easier to slice thinly.
- To make the crostini, use a good quality bread and toast it until it is golden brown and crispy.
- To assemble the crostini, place a slice of beef carpaccio on top of a crostini and drizzle with black truffle vinaigrette.
- Garnish with microgreens or herbs for a pop of color and flavor.
Conclusion:
Beef carpaccio crostini with black truffle vinaigrette is a delicious and elegant appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be prepared in advance, making it a great option for busy hosts. The combination of tender beef carpaccio, crispy crostini, and flavorful black truffle vinaigrette is sure to impress your guests.
