Tear the arugula leaves into pieces and place a piece on each crostini. Top with a piece of beef and drizzle on a Iirtle of the olive oil and lemon dressing. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and garnish with the Parmigiano Reggiano shavings. Crostini: 1. Slice the baguettes into 1/2" slices. 2. Set under pre-heated broiler and toast until lightly browned on both sides. If serving the same day, rub the bread slices with 1to 2 large garlic cloves, sliced in half lengthwise, then brush with 2 to 3 tbsp (25 to 45. ml) olive oil. If making in advance, let cool, then keep in an airtight container for up to two days. Rub with garlic and brush with olive oil before topping.
