Put the beef eye of round in a pot with the onion, carrot, bay leaf, white wine, water, and salt.
Cook the meat over low heat for 70 minutes, until tender.
Remove the meat from the liquid and cool completely, reserving half a cup of the cooking liquid.
Put the tuna, anchovies, egg yolks, capers, lemon juice, and olive oil in a blender.
Add the reserved cooking liquid little by little and blend the sauce until smooth.
Slice the cold beef very thinly and spread it on a serving plate.
Spoon the tuna sauce over the meat, rest with capers for 30 minutes, and serve.
💡 Tip: Chilling the veal completely before slicing gives thin, neat slices.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve cold as an appetizer with capers, arugula, and toasted bread.
