Put the beef in your freezer for 30 minutes to firm it up and make it easier to slice.

Meanwhile, to make the dressing put the egg yolks in a blender or mini processor (or use a hand whisk) and add the olive oil in a steady stream season with lemon juice, mustard, salt and pepper and mix well.

Take the beef out of the freezer. Using a very sharp large knife, cut slices as thinly as you can. Lay these on a plate and cover them with the clingfilm as you cut to stop them from coloring. If you put a layer of baking parchment or clingfilm between the layers you’ll easily be able to separate them later.

To serve, plate the beef slices on a platter or individual plates, heap some arugula leaves in the middle and drizzle the dressing around the edge. Finish with parmesan shavings.
