Cut the beef into thin slices (slicing thickness). Finely dice the gherkins and peeled shallots. Rinse the anchovy fillets, pat dry, and finely chop. Peel and dice the garlic, and crush it with a little salt. Prepare a marinade of mustard, vinegar, oil, meat broth, salt, and pepper. Mix the gherkins, shallots, garlic, anchovies, and parsley.
