Step 1
Place the 1 pound beef tenderloin in the freezer for 30 minutes until firm but not frozen solid.
Step 2
Melt the 4 tablespoons unsalted butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Stir in the 2 teaspoons berbere spice and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Step 3
Using a sharp knife, finely chop the chilled beef into small pieces. Transfer to a bowl.
Step 4
Pour the spiced butter over the beef, add the 0.5 teaspoon salt and 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, and mix gently until well combined.
Step 5
Divide the beef mixture among 4 plates, shaping each into a neat mound.
Step 6
Make a small well in the center of each mound and carefully place 1 egg yolk in each well.
Step 7
Garnish with the 0.25 cup fresh parsley leaves and serve immediately.
Step 8
For best flavor, let the beef sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving, but do not leave out longer.
