Preparation

Place meat, wrapped in plastic wrap, in the freezer for about 2 hours to partially freeze it.

Using a peeler, shave thin slivers of cheese to make shavings.

Remove meat from the freezer, unwrap and immediately slice it very thinly using a sharp knife.

Divide meat slices among chilled plates. Top with sprouts, blackberries and cheese shavings.

Drizzle with balsamic and season to taste. Serve immediately. *When buying the meat, advise your butcher you will be making carpaccio. Note: You can place the sliced meat on plates 1–2 hours ahead of time, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate. Just before serving, top with remaining ingredients.
