Treat your ingredients with care...

• Olive oil — Choose a high-quality extra virgin olive oil for the best flavor. Infuse the oil with the herbs by gently heating it with the herbs in a small saucepan for a few minutes, then strain before using.

Tips & Tricks

• For a more intense herb flavor, marinate the steaks in the herb mixture for 1-2 hours before cooking.
• Let the steaks rest after cooking to allow the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
• Serve the Carne al Piatto with a side of roasted potatoes and a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
• Experiment with different herb combinations to customize the flavor of the dish.
• If you prefer a milder garlic flavor, reduce the amount of minced garlic in the herb mixture.

Serving advice

Serve the sliced Carne al Piatto on a platter, drizzled with the herb-infused olive oil. Garnish with fresh herbs for an extra touch of freshness. This dish pairs well with a glass of red wine and crusty Italian bread.

Presentation advice

Arrange the thinly sliced steak on the platter in an overlapping pattern, creating an appealing visual display. Drizzle the herb-infused olive oil over the top, allowing it to cascade down the slices. Sprinkle some fresh herbs on top for a pop of color.
