450 g Minced or chopped fillet;

; steak, all fat
; removed (1lb)
2 lg Raw egg yolks
2 tb Worcester sauce
1 tb Dijon mustard
1 tb Finely chopped capers
1 tb Red onion
1 tb Finely chopped shallot
1 tb Finely chopped anchovy
3 tb Extra virgin olive oil
1/2 tb Freshly squeezed lemon juice

Mince or chop the beef just before you want to serve the dish to retain the
colour of the beef.
Combine the ingredients without the beef ensuring the oil is well
emulsified with the egg yolks and liquid ingredients. Some people like to
fold in finely chopped hard boiled egg whites and yolks, but personally I
don’t think it adds anything to the dish. With the Worcester sauce,
mustards and Tabasco, feel free to vary the amounts according to your
palate.
Just before serving mix the meat with the combined ingredients. Adjust
seasoning as necessary.
Serve with a large pile of very hot chips or the thinner frites, some mayo
if you desire and a simply dressed leaf salad.
