Ingredients

• 350 grams lean ground beef
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons low-fat mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon capers, chopped
• 2 tablespoons gherkins, finely chopped
• 0.5 onion, finely chopped
• 1 egg yolk
• 0.5 teaspoon hot sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, low-fat mayonnaise, chopped capers, chopped gherkins, finely chopped onion, egg yolk, and hot sauce. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are well incorporated.

Step 2

Add the lean ground beef to the bowl, and gently mix through the mustard mixture using a fork to break the meat apart without over-mixing. This helps in maintaining a tender texture.

Step 3

Season the mixture with freshly ground black pepper and salt. Adjust the seasoning to taste.

Step 4

Add the fresh parsley and lemon juice to the mixture, and gently fold through the beef mixture to ensure even distribution.

Step 5

Taste and adjust any seasoning if necessary.

Step 6

Once everything is combined, divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty or serve as a scoop on a plate.

Step 7

Serve immediately as a spread on whole-grain toast or as a side dish with a green salad. Enjoy your Low Fat Filet Americain with your favorite accompaniments.
