Origami Fold Beef Appetizer

# The Ingredients You'll Need:

→ Beef

01 - 10.5 oz beef carpaccio or very thinly sliced roast beef

→ Marinade

02 - 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

03 - 1 tbsp gluten-free soy sauce

04 - 2 tsp lemon juice

05 - 1 tsp Dijon mustard

06 - 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper

07 - 1/4 tsp sea salt

→ Garnishes

08 - 1.4 oz baby arugula

09 - 2 tbsp toasted sesame seeds

10 - 1 tbsp finely chopped chives

11 - 1.75 oz shaved Parmesan cheese

# Step-by-Step Instructions:

01 - Whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, black pepper, and sea salt in a small bowl.

02 - Lay beef slices flat on a clean surface and brush lightly with the marinade, reserving some for later.

03 - Carefully fold each beef slice into geometric shapes such as triangles, squares, or origami-style fans, applying gentle pressure to hold form. Secure with chive stems or cocktail picks if necessary.

04 - Place the folded beef pieces on a platter lined with baby arugula.

05 - Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds, chopped chives, and shaved Parmesan cheese over the beef.

06 - Drizzle remaining marinade evenly over the assembled appetizer just before serving.

# Additional Tips::

01 -

It looks restaurant-worthy but requires zero cooking skills or heat, just patience and a sharp knife.
The combination of silky beef with the bright tang of the marinade and nuttiness from sesame feels unexpectedly sophisticated on your tongue.

02 -

If your beef warms up too much while folding, it becomes soft and impossible to hold a crisp fold, so work quickly or chill it between batches.
The difference between a gorgeous presentation and a sad one often comes down to using the sharpest knife possible—a dull blade crushes the delicate meat instead of cutting cleanly.
