Ingredients

• 200 grams beef tenderloin
• 1 small shallot
• 1 tablespoon capers
• 2 small cornichons
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 large egg yolk
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon hot sauce (optional)
• 1 tablespoon flat-leaf parsley
• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
• 0.25 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
• 6 slices toasted baguette slices (for serving)
• 1 handful salad greens (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Begin by placing the beef tenderloin in the freezer for about 15 minutes to firm it up for easier handling and dicing. Do not freeze completely.

Step 2

Finely mince the shallot, capers, cornichons, and flat-leaf parsley. Set them aside on a cutting board or in small bowls.

Step 3

Remove the beef from the freezer and carefully dice it into very small cubes using a sharp knife. The pieces should be uniform for the best texture. Transfer the beef into a large mixing bowl.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, egg yolk, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce (if using), olive oil, kosher salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 5

Add the minced shallot, capers, cornichons, parsley, and the mustard-egg mixture to the diced beef. Gently fold everything together using a spoon or spatula until evenly mixed. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 6

Plate the steak tartare by forming it into a mound or using a ring mold for a neat presentation. Optionally, garnish the plate with a handful of salad greens.

Step 7

Serve immediately with toasted baguette slices on the side. Enjoy your Steak Tartare!
