Ensure the beef tenderloin is extremely fresh, and preferably purchase it from a reputable butcher. If possible, have the butcher grind the meat for you to the correct texture.
If grinding the meat yourself, first place the beef in the freezer for about 15 minutes until it is firm but not frozen. This makes it easier to handle.
Using a sharp knife, finely chop the beef tenderloin until it reaches a smooth, almost spreadable texture. Set aside in a chilled bowl.
Finely chop the yellow onion and cornichons. Roughly chop the capers.
In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, gluten-free Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, onion, capers, cornichons, salt, pepper, and paprika. Stir until well combined.
Add the chopped beef to the mixture and gently fold to incorporate everything evenly.
Incorporate the egg yolk into the beef mixture, ensuring even distribution for a smooth, creamy texture.
Add the chopped fresh parsley and chives to the mixture, and gently fold to combine.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or lemon juice as desired.
Serve immediately on a plate, accompanied with gluten-free crackers or toast points. Garnish with extra parsley or chives if desired.
