i started making these as a reaction to the extortionate price of roast beef at who(le)fo(ods) - i just don't think whofo is justified in charging $14 for top round. as a side dish, i impulse-bought a bag of kettle "buffalo bleu" chips. in case you're curious, they taste like very slightly cheesy barbeque potato chips. very little of the hot/sour snap i was expecting. but perhaps my taste for heat doesn't reflect that of the general consuming public. they were certainly edible.
assembly:
~2/3lb beef flesh - buy a pound if it's bone-in, or particularly fatty
1T dijon mustard
2tsp ketchup
a few shallots, diced fine
a few cornichons, same dice
a small dash of fish sauce (since i didn't have any anchovies on hand - it works awfully well)
about an ounce of liquor - i used gin tonight, mostly because i have a bottle of undrinkable plymouth to work through. cognac would, i'm sure, be preferable
1/4C mild olive oil
1 egg yolk
salt
pepper
sriracha (to taste - i cannot find enough uses for this condiment)
trim and then dice the meat as finely as possible, then dice it again and again and again. the finer you can go, the happier you'll be. then simply mix it with everything else in a small bowl.
finish:
toasted bread
finely sliced sweet onion
chopped avocado
leaf lettuce
you know. make sandwiches.
serves two large sandwiches.

There are only two kinds of people ... those who recognize the wonders of good raw meat and everyone else. Now combine that with those who will willingly put a raw egg into their mouths and one gets down to those worth knowing.
And cornichon ... ahhhh.
