Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Beef tenderloin
- 1 small Shallot
- 1 tablespoon Capers
- 2 tablespoons Parsley
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 Egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Start by placing the beef tenderloin in the freezer for about 15 minutes to firm it up, which makes it easier to dice.
Finely dice the shallot, capers, and parsley, then set them aside.
Remove the beef from the freezer and use a sharp knife to finely dice it into small cubes of about 0.5 cm.
In a medium bowl, combine the diced beef, finely chopped shallot, capers, and parsley.
Add in the Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, olive oil, egg yolk, salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
Mix everything together gently until the ingredients are well combined. Be careful not to mash the beef.
Taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
To serve, shape the tartare into a mound or use a round mold for a more refined presentation on a plate.
Serve immediately with toasted bread or crispy crackers on the side.
