Ingredients

• 400 grams beef tenderloin
• 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon gluten-free Worcestershire sauce
• 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
• 1 small yellow onion
• 1 tablespoon capers
• 2 teaspoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon chives
• 1 large egg yolk
• 3 units cornichons

Directions

Step 1

Ensure the beef tenderloin is extremely fresh, and preferably purchase it from a reputable butcher. If possible, have the butcher grind the meat for you to the correct texture.

Step 2

If grinding the meat yourself, first place the beef in the freezer for about 15 minutes until it is firm but not frozen. This makes it easier to handle.

Step 3

Using a sharp knife, finely chop the beef tenderloin until it reaches a smooth, almost spreadable texture. Set aside in a chilled bowl.

Step 4

Finely chop the yellow onion and cornichons. Roughly chop the capers.

Step 5

In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, gluten-free Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, onion, capers, cornichons, salt, pepper, and paprika. Stir until well combined.

Step 6

Add the chopped beef to the mixture and gently fold to incorporate everything evenly.

Step 7

Incorporate the egg yolk into the beef mixture, ensuring even distribution for a smooth, creamy texture.

Step 8

Add the chopped fresh parsley and chives to the mixture, and gently fold to combine.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or lemon juice as desired.

Step 10

Serve immediately on a plate, accompanied with gluten-free crackers or toast points. Garnish with extra parsley or chives if desired.
