- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce

Instructions
Chill the beef tenderloin in the freezer for about 20 minutes to make it easier to slice finely.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the minced beef with the chopped shallot, capers, and parsley.
Add the Dijon mustard, ketchup, mayonnaise, egg yolk, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce to the bowl.
Season with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix everything together thoroughly until well combined.
