This is very much a Piemontese spcciality which is prepared usually the day before it is to be eaten and served as part of an antipasto on bread or crostini. Dont worry about it being raw. The beef after the preparation will be perfectly cooked by the acidity of the lemon juice marinade. This macerates the meat and allows the garlic flavour subty to infuse into it.

Serves 4
