  1. Chill the Plate:
    • Place your serving plate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to ensure it’s thoroughly chilled.
  2. Prepare the Beef:
    • Wrap the filet mignon tightly in plastic wrap, forming a log shape.
    • Freeze for 1-2 hours, or until firm but not frozen solid.
  3. Slice the Beef:
    • Unwrap the filet and use a sharp knife to slice it as thinly as possible.
    • Lay the slices between sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound with a meat mallet until paper-thin.
  4. Dress the Arugula:
    • In a small bowl, toss the arugula with 1 tbsp olive oil and a pinch of salt until evenly coated.
  5. Plate the Beef:
    • Remove the chilled plate from the refrigerator and arrange the thin slices of beef on it, slightly overlapping.
  6. Squeeze Lemon:
    • Squeeze fresh lemon juice evenly over the beef slices for added brightness.
  7. Drizzle:
    • Drizzle the remaining olive oil, balsamic glaze, and Cini Sauce evenly over the lemon-coated beef.
  8. Add Toppings:
    • Scatter the dressed arugula, shaved Parmesan, and capers over the drizzled beef.
  9. Season:
    • Sprinkle the beef with freshly cracked black pepper and additional salt if desired.
