Tagliata di manzo: Perfectly Carved Beef from the BBQ
Tagliata di manzo, a classic when it comes to Italian cuisine. If you literally translate it into Dutch; sliced beef. The words say it all. Nevertheless, this Tuscan regional dish is popular worldwide.
Diamond tenderloin
This beautiful piece of meat is available at a butcher's shop for a not too expensive price and can now often be found on the menu at a restaurant. It has approximately the same shape as the tenderloin and is not working meat. This means that the taste is quite neutral, but the meat is surprisingly tender.
Parmigiano Reggiano
As mentioned in other articles, much in Italy revolves around pure flavors. That is why we are going to combine this piece of meat with “Parmigiano Reggiano” or Parmesan cheese, arugula, cherry tomato, basil and balsamic cream. All flavors that are common in Italian cuisine. This simple and quick to prepare “piatto” obviously makes it even tastier on the barbecue!
