With a little careful trimming, this revered primal delight is entirely achievable at home.
Ingredients
3 shallots, sliced thin rounds
flour
oil for frying
1.5 lb eye of round
2 medium shallots, minced
2 Tbsp capers, chopped
8 cornichon, diced small
2 Tbsp parsley, chopped
2 Tbsp olive oil
5 Tbsp aïoli or mayonnaise
kosher salt
Tabasco
Worcestershire
1 baguette sliced and toasted
Method
- Bring a small pot of canola oil to 350°F.
- Toss the shallot rounds in flour and deep fry until crispy.
- Clean the eye of round by slicing off the outside surface to 1 mm deep. Place the cleaned meat on a new cutting board, ensuring that it does not touch any surfaces that the original piece of meat touched. Doing this will help prevent contamination.
- Dice the meat by first cutting it into ¼” slices. Stack a few slices on one another and slice them lengthwise. Once sliced, the strips are easily diced very small.
- Combine meat with minced shallots, capers, cornichon, parsley, olive oil and aïoli.
- Season to taste with salt, Tabasco and Worcestershire.
- Top with shallot rounds and serve with toasted baguette.
