Brazilian Beef Tartare (Carne de Onça)

125 g high-quality lean beef mince (minced 3 times)
40 g brown onion, finely diced
20 ml extra virgin olive oil
Sea salt, to taste
Cracked black pepper, to taste
Fresh spring onions, finely chopped, to taste
Fresh continental parsley, finely chopped, to taste

You can source these ingredients at any local Aussie supermarket or quality butcher. For the lean beef, ask your local butcher for a high-quality eye fillet or lean topside and have them mince it extra finely for the best texture. Dark rye bread, often referred to as 'broa' or pumpernickel, can be found in the bakery section of major supermarkets or at independent continental delis. Fresh herbs like spring onions and continental parsley are standard produce items found in the fruit and vegetable aisle.

This dish is a fantastic appetiser, traditionally served on slices of dark rye bread to perfectly balance the rich, savoury notes of the seasoned raw beef.
