Divide the capers among the plates. Place a mound of the arugula in the center of the plates. Shave the Parmesan around the mound of arugula. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and serve. Enjoy!

Notes:

  1. Because the beef tenderloin is barely cooked, it is extremely important to procure your beef from a reputable vendor.
