Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Chop the filet mignon

    Using a sharp knife, hand chop the filet mignon into small, even pieces. Avoid using a food processor to maintain the texture.

  2. 2

    Prepare the shallots and capers

    Finely chop the shallots. Rinse the capers under cold water and chop them lightly.

Mixing Ingredients

  1. 3

    Combine the ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped filet mignon, shallots, capers, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently to avoid mashing the meat.

  2. 4

    Add the egg yolk

    Make a small well in the center of the mixture and add the egg yolk. Gently fold it into the meat mixture until well combined.

Serving

  1. 5

    Plate the tartare

    Using a ring mold or your hands, shape the tartare into a neat mound on a serving plate.

  2. 6

    Garnish

    Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and additional capers if desired. Serve immediately with toasted bread or crackers.
