Directions

  1. Wrap the meat tightly in plastic wrap, then freeze it for 2 hours to make it easier to cut. Do not freeze it for longer, as this will make it soggy.
  2. Cut the meat into thin slices and remove the plastic packaging. ≈ 8 min
  3. Arrange five circular slices, with a slightly rough edge, and place one in the center. Place them on a slightly damp plastic sheet. Place another damp sheet of plastic on top. Place a pie dish on top and gently tap it with a metal box.
  4. Remove the meat, season it with salt and black pepper. Serve with extra virgin olive oil, lemon slices, grated Parmesan cheese, and chopped basil. ≈ 2 min
