Ingredients

• 250 grams Lean beef tenderloin
• 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon Capers, rinsed and chopped
• 1 Shallot, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons Flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon Extra virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
• 0 to taste Salt
• 2 tablespoons Low-fat Greek yogurt
• 0.5 Avocado, cubed
• 4 slices Whole grain bread, toasted and cut into triangles
• 1 handful Baby arugula, for garnish

Directions

Step 1

Begin by placing the beef tenderloin in the freezer for about 15 minutes. This will make it easier to slice and chop finely.

Step 2

Once the beef is firm, take it out and with a sharp knife, trim any silverskin or excess fat. Then, cut the beef into small cubes, approximately 1/4 inch, and set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine the Dijon mustard, chopped capers, chopped shallot, chopped parsley, extra virgin olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, and lemon zest. Mix until well incorporated.

Step 4

Add the cubed beef to the mixture in the bowl. Fold the ingredients gently together, ensuring the beef is evenly coated. Season with freshly ground black pepper and salt to taste.

Step 5

In a separate small bowl, mix the low-fat Greek yogurt with a pinch of salt and a dash of lemon juice if desired, to make a creamy dressing.

Step 6

To serve, place a portion of the tartare mixture into a ring mold on a plate or shape it neatly with a spoon.

Step 7

Top the tartare with small cubes of fresh avocado.

Step 8

Drizzle with a little more extra virgin olive oil and serve with a side of the Greek yogurt dressing, whole grain bread triangles, and garnish with baby arugula.

Step 9

Serve immediately for the freshest taste.
