Put the beef on a plate and place in the freezer for 15 minutes (this will make dicing the beef easier).

Serve immediately.

Combine the egg yolk, anchovies, both mustards, and the vinegar in a blender and blend until smooth.

With the motor running, slowly add the oil, drop by drop at first, and blend until emulsified.
11
Season with salt and pepper.
12
Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 1 day before serving.
13
Preheat the broiler or heat a grill pan over high heat.
14
Combine garlic and oil in a blender and blend for 1 minute.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.
