How to Make Pan-Seared Tagliata

  • To prepare a tasty pan-seared tagliata, follow these simple steps:

    Ingredients

    • A beef fillet of about 500-600 grams
    • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
    • Extra virgin olive oil
    • Butter (optional)
    • Garlic (optional)
    • Rosemary or thyme (optional)


    Preparation

    • Preparation of the fillet. Remove the beef fillet from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before cooking to allow it to reach room temperature. This will ensure even cooking.

    Preheat the pan. Heat a heavy skillet, preferably cast iron, over medium-high heat. The pan should be well heated before cooking the fillet.

    Seasoning. Brush the beef fillet with a bit of olive oil on both sides and generously season it with salt and pepper. If desired, you can add crushed garlic and rosemary or thyme to further flavor the meat.

    Cooking. Place the fillet in the hot pan. Cook one side of the fillet for 3-4 minutes to achieve a golden crust. Then, flip it and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes. Cooking times may vary depending on the thickness of the fillet and personal preferences, but the ideal result is rare or medium-rare.

    Resting. Once cooked, place the fillet on a plate and cover it with a sheet of aluminum foil. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes. During the resting period, the meat will continue to cook slightly, and the juices will distribute evenly, ensuring a juicier meat.

    Slicing and serving. Slice the fillet thinly against the grain. This is the perfect time to add a pat of butter on the meat, if desired. Serve the tagliata hot, garnished with any sauces or seasonings to taste.

    The pan-seared tagliata is a versatile and delicious dish that can be customized with various seasonings and sides. Enjoy your meal!
