Ingredients
- 200 grams lean beef tenderloin
- 1 medium shallot, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon capers, drained and chopped
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons low-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions
Begin by preparing the beef tenderloin. Ensure it is extremely fresh and of high quality. Using a sharp knife, finely dice the beef into small, uniform pieces. Aim for a tartare mix that is as fine as possible while maintaining some texture.
In a medium bowl, combine the chopped beef with the finely chopped shallot and capers.
Add the Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and low-fat Greek yogurt to the beef and shallot mixture. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are coated.
Stir in the fresh parsley, lemon juice, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Blend all ingredients until they are well incorporated.
Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil over the mixture and gently fold it in to add a touch of richness.
Adjust the seasoning to taste, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice as preferred.
Chill the tartare mixture in the fridge for about 10 minutes before serving to allow all the flavors to meld together.
To serve, arrange the mixed salad greens on individual plates as a bed for the tartare.
Using a ring mold, form the beef tartare mixture into neat patties on top of the salad greens.
Garnish each serving with a sprinkle of finely chopped chives.
Serve immediately alongside toasted whole grain bread for added texture and enjoyment.
