Carpaccio of beef was created by Giuseppe Cipriani of Harry's Bar in Venice, and has become famous throughout the world as being typical of modern Italian cuisine. There are an unlimited number of variations of this dish, but often the simpler the better. This variation tops the tender beef slices with crisp, vibrant watercress and a drizzle of garlicky aioli sauce to finish. Serve as a light lunch dish, or as an appetizer.
