Ingredients
- 10.5 oz Veal slices
- 1.5 oz Arugula
- as needed Grana Padano (shavings)
- 3 tbsp tzatziki sauce
- as needed Olive oil
- as needed Fine salt
Preparation of Strips
Cut the veal slices into thin strips, remove the fat parts, and then sauté them in a pan with oil and salt for about 5 minutes.
I prefer them cooked, but if you like them pink, remove them a few minutes earlier.
Clean and wash the arugula leaves, dry them or spin them to remove all excess water.
Take a plate, lay the arugula, pour the veal strips, the Grana shavings, a few spoonfuls of tzatziki sauce, add a pinch of salt, a drizzle of oil, and serve.
