Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Chop beef tenderloin as fine as possible using a sharp knife on a cold board. Work quickly so meat stays cold.

    Transfer beef to a chilled bowl. Add anchovy, capers, and lemon juice.

  3. Step 3

    Fold gently until combined, then season with salt and pepper.

  4. Step 4

    Divide tartare among 4 plates. Make a shallow well in each portion with the back of a spoon.

  5. Step 5

    Slide one raw egg yolk into the well on each plate. Serve immediately with toasted bread.
