Postup

In a mixing bowl, combine the diced beef tenderloin, minced shallot, chopped capers, chopped parsley, Dijon mustard, egg yolk, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until well combined.
Divide the beef mixture equally into three separate bowls for the variations.
For the Asian Tartare variation: to the first portion, add soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, grated ginger, and chopped scallions. Mix gently and adjust seasoning to taste.
For the Mediterranean Tartare variation: to the second portion, add chopped sun-dried tomatoes, chopped Kalamata olives, lemon zest, and extra virgin olive oil. Fold all ingredients together lightly.
For the Mexican Tartare variation: to the third portion, add finely chopped jalapeño, fresh cilantro, lime juice, and ground cumin. Stir gently and adjust heat by adding more jalapeño if desired.
To serve, mold each tartare variation into neat rounds using a ring mold on individual plates. Garnish each with complementary items: sesame seeds or microgreens for the Asian, thin lemon slices or olive tapenade for Mediterranean, and avocado slices or tortilla strips for the Mexican.
Serve immediately with toasted baguette slices or crisp crackers for an elegant tasting experience.
