The popular Italian dish made of thinly sliced raw meat is known as carpaccio. Traditionally, it features raw beef or veal that has been pounded thin, dressed with olive oil, lemon juice, and seasonings. Though beef is the most common type of meat used, variations can include different meats, such as fish, especially tuna or salmon. Carpaccio is often served as an appetizer and garnished with ingredients like capers, arugula, or shaved Parmesan cheese. Its origins can be traced back to Venice in the 1950s, where it was named after the painter Vittore Carpaccio.
