Classic Steak Tartare

Steps

1. 1

   Place the beef in the freezer for about 10 minutes to firm it slightly, then hand-cut it very finely with a sharp knife.

2. 2

   Finely chop the shallot, capers, and cornichons, then mix with the parsley.

3. 3

   In a bowl, season the beef with the mustard, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, olive oil, salt, and pepper.

4. 4

   Fold in the chopped condiments, mixing only enough to distribute the seasoning without mashing the meat.

5. 5

   Shape neatly using a ring mold or spoon into small mounds, top each serving with an egg yolk, and serve immediately, well chilled.
