- 1 small French shallot peeled and halved (small brownish reddish one, about 10 g or 0.3 oz)
- 1 small handful of flat parsley leaves
- 1 tsp capers drained
- 1-2 cornichon
- 1 tsp dijon mustard
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1/4 tsp salt or to taste... you may prefer more
- 2 pinches of cracked black pepper
To Serve
- 2 room temperature egg yolks see notes on pasteurising
- toasted bread
- fresh aioli skinnymixers recipe found here
Instructions
- Prepare your steak, ensuring you use proper food handling hygine, and put it in the freezer to par freeze for a few hours.
- Put your shallot into your mixer bowl, chop for 1 sec/speed 9/MC on. Scrape bowl down.
- Add parsley, capers and cornichon and chop for 1 sec/speed 9/MC on. Scrape bowl down.
- Add mustard, olive oil, salt and pepper and combine for 3 sec/speed 3/MC on. Set aside in a bowl.
- Without washing the bowl, add your par frozen steak and chop for about 2-3 seconds/speed 7/MC on. The idea is to have a fine dice, but not mush.
- Put your steak in with your reserved seasoning, stir through well. Plate up with aioli and top with the raw egg yolk.
Notes
It is really important to observe proper food handling techniques. This recipe should be kept in the fridge until it is ready to serve, but I personally would not keep it for more than 1-2 hours myself before serving and consuming.
Pastueurising egg yolk: If you are having to use supermarket eggs, or are concerned about using raw egg yolk, have a look on google how to pasturise your eggs to minimise the risk... but you are eating raw steak afterall.
You can halve this recipe for a smaller serve, or increase it to serve double.
