Prepare the Beef
Using a sharp knife, finely chop the raw beef tenderloin into small pieces. Aim for a texture that is almost like a paste but still has some small chunks for a delightful bite.

Mix the Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, combine the finely chopped beef with sesame oil, soy sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly with a fork or your hands until all ingredients are well incorporated.

Add the Egg Yolk
Create a small well in the center of the beef mixture and add the egg yolk. Mix again gently until the yolk is fully incorporated into the beef mixture.
