Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Beef tenderloin
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 large Egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
- 2 tablespoons Capers, finely chopped
- 1 small Shallot, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Flat leaf parsley, finely chopped
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Place the beef tenderloin in the freezer for about 15 minutes, which will make it easier to finely chop.
After chilling, remove the beef from the freezer and, using a very sharp knife, cut it into very thin slices, then into small cubes, and finally chop until finely minced. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, egg yolk, Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco sauce, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper until well combined and smooth.
Add the finely chopped capers, shallot, and parsley to the mixture, then stir in the minced beef until the mixture is evenly combined. Ensure the beef is well coated with the mixture.
Taste for seasoning and adjust with salt, pepper, or more Tabasco if desired.
Serve immediately on a platter, garnished with additional chopped parsley if desired. It can be served with toasted bread or crackers as a scoopable spread.
