Ingredients

• 400 grams lean beef tenderloin
• 1 medium shallot
• 1 tablespoon capers
• 2 teaspoons low-fat mustard
• 1 teaspoon low-fat Worcestershire sauce
• 1 large egg yolk
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon chives
• 2 tablespoons cornichons
• 1 teaspoon white vinegar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Start by placing the lean beef tenderloin in the freezer for about 15 minutes. This makes it easier to dice finely.

Step 2

While the beef is chilling, finely dice the shallot, capers, and cornichons. Set aside.

Step 3

Finely chop the fresh parsley and chives, and set them aside separately.

Step 4

Once slightly frozen, remove the beef from the freezer. Using a sharp knife, cut the beef into very small dice.

Step 5

In a mixing bowl, combine the diced beef, shallot, capers, and cornichons.

Step 6

Add the low-fat mustard, low-fat Worcestershire sauce, and white vinegar to the beef mixture and gently mix.

Step 7

Season the mixture with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 8

Add the egg yolk into the center of the mixture and gently mix until well blended. Ensure even distribution throughout the beef.

Step 9

Fold in the chopped parsley and chives until just combined.

Step 10

Place a ring mold on each plate and fill with the beef mixture, pressing down gently to form a neat round shape. Remove the mold carefully.

Step 11

Serve immediately as an appetizer or light main dish with crusty bread or low-fat crackers.
