Fresh beef chopped with a knife, with shallots, capers and mustard, on toasted baguette slices. A restaurant starter made at home in half an hour, as long as the meat is truly fresh.
Put the meat in the freezer for 20 minutes. It firms up slightly and is much easier to cut into small, precise cubes.

Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F). Slice the baguette on the diagonal into 1 cm slices, arrange on a baking sheet, brush with the olive oil and bake 7–8 minutes, until the edges turn golden.

💡Put things in the oven only once it's reached temperature, after the heating light has gone off: an oven that hasn't reached temperature changes baking times, and the bake burns outside or stays underbaked.

With a sharp knife, cut the meat into thin slices, the slices into matchsticks and the matchsticks into about ½ cm cubes. Don't grind it in a food processor: tartare should have pieces you can feel, not a paste.

Add the meat, shallot, capers and parsley, season with the sea salt and the black pepper and mix gently with a fork. Taste and adjust.

Place a heaping spoonful of tartare on each baguette slice just before serving, so the bread stays crisp.
