Method

Tartare Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef

    Using a sharp knife, hand-cut the beef tenderloin into small, even cubes. This will ensure a delicate texture and enhance the flavor.

  2. 2

    Chop the Shallots and Capers

    Finely chop the shallots and capers, ensuring they are small enough to mix evenly with the beef.

  3. 3

    Mix the Tartare

    In a mixing bowl, combine the hand-cut beef tenderloin, chopped shallots, capers, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, and olive oil. Mix gently to combine all ingredients without mashing the beef.

  4. 4

    Add Fresh Parsley

    Finely chop the fresh parsley and fold it into the tartare mixture. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Mayonnaise Preparation

  1. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    In a bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice until well blended.

  2. 6

    Emulsify the Mayonnaise

    Slowly drizzle in the vegetable oil while continuously whisking to create an emulsion. The mixture should thicken to a mayonnaise consistency. Season with salt to taste.

Sourdough Bread Preparation

  1. 7

    Toast the Bread

    Lightly toast the sourdough rye bread slices until golden brown. This will add a nice crunch and flavor to the dish.

Assembly

  1. 8

    Plate the Tartare

    Spoon the beef tartare mixture onto a serving plate, shaping it into a small mound.

  2. 9

    Add Mayonnaise

    Drizzle or spoon a generous amount of the house mayonnaise over the top of the tartare.

  3. 10

    Serve with Toasted Bread

    Serve the tartare with the toasted sourdough rye bread on the side for dipping.
