Basque Beef Carpaccio Pintxo with Pumpkin-Seed Romesco
A Basque-style pintxo — paper-thin slices of raw beef tenderloin draped over a small spoonful of pumpkin-seed romesco. The beef and pumpkin seeds are the zinc engine; the romesco — pumpkin seeds, almonds, roasted pepper, garlic — gives it Spanish character.
