    1. Wrap the meat tightly in parchment paper and tie it with kitchen twine, securing the ends well, like a sausage.
    1. Lower the meat (use tenderloin) into boiling water (or broth), cover, turn off the heat, and leave it to cook for 4 hours. This is a simplified take on sous-vide — the meat cooks and turns tender on its own as the water slowly cools.
    1. Whisk the egg yolks with the mustard, pepper, and salt.
    1. Gradually drizzle in the oil, a little at a time, whisking constantly.
    1. Add the anchovy fillets, canned tuna, 0.5 tablespoon capers, and 2 tablespoons of the broth the meat cooked in to the sauce, then blend everything smooth.
    1. If needed, add a bit more broth to reach the consistency of thick sour cream.
    1. Slice the veal thin, spoon the sauce over it, and garnish with fresh herbs and the remaining capers. Your vitello tonnato is ready! Enjoy!
