Instructions

Finely chop the capers and mince the anchovy fillets and shallot.

In a chilled bowl, combine the minced beef with capers, anchovies, shallot, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, and olive oil.

Gently fold together until just combined. Season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
