Now, carpaccio is mainly served as an appetizer, but this one is so rich and wonderful that we usually have it for dinner and are perfectly happy and satisfied. To make four of these, you need only one wonderful round filet mignon steak. We get ours at Costco – they have fabulous steaks there. Slice it into four even rounds, and then here comes the fun part. Put each round between two slices of wax paper, get out your handy meat pounder, and pound it until it is almost as thin as tissue paper. Don’t worry if it rips a little here and there – that adds to the interesting look of the whole thing.
Now all you have to do is make a quick dressing of garlic, anchovies, oil, egg yolk, parmesan cheese and mustard and poach a few eggs. Do the dressing first, and then use my fool-proof method for egg-poaching: bring a pan of water to a simmer. Break each egg into a separate teacup, and slip each one carefully into the water. Cover the pan, turn OFF the heat, move the pan off the burner and let them sit for exactly three minutes. When three minutes are up, you will have perfectly poached eggs with nice soft and creamy insides. It took me forever to figure out how to poach eggs this way, but I finally got it, and it works!
Now assemble your carpaccio as follows: Drizzle the beef rounds with a teeny bit of oil from the anchovy can. Scatter some capers on top, and top with a few romaine lettuce leaves. Put an egg on the top of the lettuce and break it so the yolk spreads out. Sprinkle some fresh parmesan on top, grind a little fresh pepper on top, and serve to the brave raw food eaters in your house.
And for those of you non-raw-food eaters, here’s my recipe for Zucchini Carpaccio that I love just as much…nothing raw included except for squash! I’ll be back again next time with something cooked, I promise!

That is gorgeous! My husband would love it for sure!!
Mine is CRAZY about this…whenever I pull out this recipe he gets that happy look in his eyes.
You’ve done it now, brought out the meatasaurus in all of us.
I love carpaccio! I love Caesar salad, and the poached egg. Of course! Excellent.
Meatasaurus! I love that word…I’m officially borrowing it.
I wonder if I could do this with raw fish instead of steak…since that’s the only raw animal ingredient (err the only animal ingredient at all) that I’ll eat… That poached egg is what’s really luring me in though. Perfection!
You could definitely do this with tuna, I think! (I might try that myself….)
I think my heart stopped beating.
When we lived in Holland for a bit, we could buy it at the grocery store – and so cheap. We ate it every week. I can taste it right now.
Who knew I could do it here?
You CAN! Make it today!!!
Wow what a nice post.I am felling glad on this post.Can you more share with me.I will come back as soon.

Gourmet Secrets
Please, I will try this weekend
I’m going to totally disagree with everyone here and say, “Ewwwww”. But you take a pretty picture! lol I would love to look at it. But you couldn’t pay me to eat raw meat!! I think I’m just not that cultured.
PS – thanks for the tips on the poached eggs. I dont have one of those pans that my mom had and I’ve not had a poached egg in ages. My girls are going to love them!
I completely understand on the whole raw thing…you either love it or you are ewwww! But we all love a good poached egg, so it’s all good.
Love the idea, but that photo does nothing for it.
so glad you decided to post this. 100% YES on this delicious idea. i would eat this for breakfast
Thanks Jules! (And, me too! It’s like fancy steak and eggs, right?)
