Directions
-
Place the beef tenderloin in the freezer for about 30 minutes until it is firm but not completely frozen.
-
Using a very sharp knife, slice the beef as thinly as possible.
-
Refrigerate the sliced beef until ready to serve.
-
In a mixing bowl, combine the egg yolk, Dijon mustard, seasoned salt, and freshly ground pepper.
-
Add the fresh lemon juice to the egg yolk mixture.
-
Begin whisking vigorously with a wire whisk or electric mixer.
-
Gradually drizzle in the Italian olive oil, drop by drop at first, while beating constantly until the mayonnaise thickens.
-
Once the mixture thickens, you can add the remaining oil a little faster while continuing to beat.
-
Place the finely chopped shallots in a cheesecloth and rinse under cold water.
-
Squeeze the cheesecloth tightly to extract as much moisture from the shallots as possible.
-
Stir the drained shallots into the prepared mayonnaise.
-
Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, a dash of liquid hot pepper sauce, capers, and rice beef stock.
-
Mix until the sauce is well combined and slightly more than 1 cup in volume.
-
Arrange the overlapping slices of beef on serving plates.
-
Spoon a generous amount of the caper mayonnaise sauce over the beef slices.
-
Serve immediately while the beef is cold.
