Truffled Beef Loin
Origin: Florence, Italy
Source: Pellegrino Artusi, 1891
Ingredients
- sfilettato (beef or veal loin with the fillet removed)
- truffles
- butter
- olive oil
- salt
Instructions
- Take a large thick sfilettato (loin with fillet removed) and stud it all over with pointed pieces of truffle about 3 cm long, pushing a little butter in after each to fill the hole.
- Score the rind crosswise so it doesn't shrink; tie the piece and thread it on the spit.
- Roast; at two-thirds done baste lightly with oil and salt sparingly.
