Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams beef tenderloin
- 1 medium shallot
- 2 tablespoons capers
- 3 small cornichons
- 2 tablespoons parsley
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 large egg yolk
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 dashes Tabasco sauce
- 1 small baguette
Instructions
Place the beef tenderloin in the freezer for about 10-15 minutes to slightly firm up, making it easier to dice.
Finely chop the shallot, capers, cornichons, and parsley and set aside.
Remove the beef from the freezer and cut into small dice, approximately 1/4 inch cubes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced beef with the shallot, capers, cornichons, parsley, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and egg yolk. Mix well to combine.
Gradually add the olive oil while mixing to incorporate it thoroughly.
Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, and Tabasco sauce. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
Slice the small baguette into thin slices and toast them lightly under a grill or in a toaster.
Divide the steak tartare between two plates, forming a neat mound or using a mold for a precise shape.
Garnish with additional capers or parsley if desired.
Serve immediately with the toasted baguette slices on the side.
