Tuscan straccetti di manzo served with roasted potatoes and seasonal vegetables

Ingredients

This base recipe is scaled for 1 serving and can be increased for menu planning, service preparation, or event production.

Base recipe = 1 serving.
  • 113 g trimmed beef tenderloin (or sirloin)
  • 15 ml extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 g fresh rosemary
  • 10 g garlic, sliced
  • 2 g sea salt
  • 0.5 g freshly ground black pepper
  • 180 g roasted potatoes
  • 150 g seasonal vegetables (cauliflower, carrots, green beans)

Method

  1. Heat a heavy skillet over high heat with the olive oil and rosemary to perfume the fat.
  2. Add the sliced garlic briefly, allowing it to release its aroma without browning too much.
  3. Immediately add the thinly sliced beef and sauté rapidly, tossing for even cooking.
  4. Season only at the end with sea salt and black pepper to preserve tenderness and juiciness.
  5. Serve immediately with roasted potatoes and seasonal vegetables.
Chef’s Note: True straccetti are all about speed. The beef must be sliced thin and cooked quickly over high heat. Overcooking removes the tenderness and character that make this dish special.
