Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Use a sharp knife to finely mince the beef tenderloin. Alternatively, pulse briefly in a food processor—do not over-process or the meat will become paste.

  2. Step 2

    Finely chop the capers and mince the anchovy fillets and shallot.

  3. Step 3

    In a chilled bowl, combine the minced beef with capers, anchovies, shallot, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, and olive oil.

  4. Step 4

    Gently fold together until just combined. Season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

  5. Step 5

    Divide the steak tartare between two plates. Make a shallow well in the center of each portion and carefully place an egg yolk in the well.

  6. Step 6

    Garnish with fresh chopped parsley. Serve immediately with toasted baguette slices on the side.
