Ingredients
- 1 piece (1/2 lb.) trimmed beef tenderloin (center cut)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
- 12 Carr’s® Table Water® Crackers
- 1 cup watercress or baby arugula, trimmed
- 1/2 cup shaved Parmesan cheese
- 4 teaspoons drained capers
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Directions
1. Tie beef with string to hold shape, if necessary. Rub 1 tablespoon of the oil on all sides of beef. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
2. Heat large, heavy, skillet over medium-high heat. In skillet, sear beef for 20 to 25 minutes or until browned and desired doneness, turning frequently to brown on all sides*. Transfer to dish. Cool slightly. Cover and freeze about 3 hours or until partially frozen. (Or, cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.)
3. Using sharp knife, very thinly crosswise slice beef.
4. Arrange Carr's® Table Water® crackers with cracked pepper on serving platter. Top crackers with beef, watercress, Parmesan cheese and capers. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and lemon juice. Sprinkle with additional pepper, if desired. Serve with brown mustard or grain mustard, if desired.
*Note: If desired, roast beef instead of searing it. Place beef on rack in shallow roasting pan. Roast, uncovered, at 425° F about 20 minutes or until desired doneness.
