Instructions
- 1
Use only the freshest, highest-quality beef from a trusted butcher. Chill the beef in the freezer for 20 minutes before working with it — this firms the meat and makes hand-mincing easier and more precise. Mince against the grain into very fine pieces with a sharp knife (do not use a food processor, which bruises the meat and changes the texture).

In a chilled bowl, gently combine the minced beef with shallot, capers, cornichons, mustard, Worcestershire, Tabasco, olive oil, and parsley. Toss lightly with two forks until just combined. Season generously with salt and pepper.

Taste and adjust seasonings — the tartare should be assertively seasoned with a balance of sharp, salty, savory, and acidic notes. Divide between two chilled plates using a ring mold for presentation. Make a well in the center of each and drop in an egg yolk. Serve immediately with toasted baguette slices.
