Method:
-
Rub a small bowl
all over with the cut side of the garlic.
Squeeze the lemon juice into the bowl. Whisk in
the olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Allow to stand for at least 15 minutes before
using.
-
Wash the rocket
and tear off any thick stalks. Spin the leaves
in a salad spinner or pat dry. Arrange the
rocket around the edge of a serving platter, or
divide among four individual plates.
-
Place the beef in
the centre of the platter, and pour on the
dressing, spreading it evenly over the meat.
Arrange the shaved Parmesan on top of the meat
slices and serve at once.
