  • Prepare the beef — trim and cut the beef (onglet or fillet) into a neat 0.5 cm small dice. Keep chilled.

  • Mix tartare — in a bowl combine the diced beef with the egg yolk, mustard, finely chopped shallot, ketchup, chopped capers, chopped cornichons, a few drops of Tabasco, a few dashes of Worcestershire sauce, a drop of brandy, a good squeeze of lemon juice and chopped parsley & chives. Season to taste with Maldon salt and black pepper. Check seasoning.

  • Toast the sourdough — slice bread 0.5 cm thick, drizzle lightly with olive oil and sprinkle a little Maldon salt. Place on a tray and bake in the oven at 180°C until golden and crispy. Finish with a little chopped parsley if desired.

  • Assemble — place a spoonful of the beef tartare onto the toasted sourdough, top with a few Parmesan shavings and finish with a good dollop of N25 caviar. Serve immediately.
