Cooking steps
  1. 1

    Place the Fassona veal in the freezer for 10 minutes to firm for easier hand chopping.

  2. 2

    Using a sharp chef's knife, finely chop the veal by hand to a coarse tartare, ensuring even texture and not mashing the meat.

  4. 4

    Plate the seasoned veal in a flat, even layer on each serving plate; use gentle pressure with a ring mold if precise presentation is desired.

    Finish by shaving truffle and sprinkling Parmigiano-Reggiano over the top. Serve immediately while chilled for best freshness.

Personalized Q&A
