Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 350 grams lean ground beef
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons low-fat mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon capers, chopped
- 2 tablespoons gherkins, finely chopped
- 0.5 onion, finely chopped
- 1 egg yolk
- 0.5 teaspoon hot sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, low-fat mayonnaise, chopped capers, chopped gherkins, finely chopped onion, egg yolk, and hot sauce. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are well incorporated.
Add the lean ground beef to the bowl, and gently mix through the mustard mixture using a fork to break the meat apart without over-mixing. This helps in maintaining a tender texture.
Season the mixture with freshly ground black pepper and salt. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
Add the fresh parsley and lemon juice to the mixture, and gently fold through the beef mixture to ensure even distribution.
Taste and adjust any seasoning if necessary.
Once everything is combined, divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty or serve as a scoop on a plate.
Serve immediately as a spread on whole-grain toast or as a side dish with a green salad. Enjoy your Low Fat Filet Americain with your favorite accompaniments.
