Carpaccio
Thinly sliced beef
Carpaccio is a dish of raw beef or fish sliced paper-thin and typically served as an appetizer, often drizzled with olive oil, lemon juice, and seasonings.
The dish originated in Venice in the 1950s, named after the Renaissance painter Vittore Carpaccio, whose use of vivid reds supposedly resembled the color of the raw meat.
The term now extends to any thinly sliced raw preparation: tuna carpaccio, beet carpaccio.
