Note
Ensure the wood chips are soaked in water for at least 30 minutes before adding them to the grill to produce steady smoke without burning.
The beef fillet should be sliced very thinly after resting to achieve the true carpaccio texture. A sharp knife or mandoline is recommended.
If pencil-thin asparagus is unavailable, you can trim the tough ends of thicker spears, though cooking time may need slight adjustment.
Serve immediately while the beef is still warm from the grill but not hot, allowing the smoky flavor to shine through.
