Tagliata di manzo

Tagliata is a traditional meat dish that's most commonly made with beef. The dish is usually made with a combination of sirloin steak, rocket (arugula), extra-virgin olive oil, salt, black pepper, and cherry tomatoes, if desired. The meat should be about 1'' (2.5cm) thick and seared on both sides on a hot griddle pan or on a barbecue. The inside of the meat is usually medium-rare and juicy, while the outside is nicely seared. Once done, it's sprinkled with salt and pepper and cut into thin slices. The slices are most commonly served over a mound of rocket, and each serving is drizzled with olive oil. If desired, add some cherry tomatoes, a drizzle of balsamic vinegar, or Parmigiano-Reggiano shavings as well. Tagliata di manzo is served immediately.
