Where to find ingredients

Preparation method
- Ensure all ingredients are fresh and chopped before you begin the assembly.
- Hand-chop the beef with a sharp knife to create small, uniform cubes.
- Place the meat in a mixing bowl and add the egg yolk, mustard, capers, Worcestershire sauce, onion, parsley, spring onion, salt, pepper, and paprika.
- Gently fold the mixture until the seasonings are evenly distributed throughout the meat.
- Add the lemon juice and lightly stir to incorporate the flavors.
- Taste the mixture and adjust the salt or pepper according to your preference.

- Transfer the shaped portions onto individual serving plates.
- Finish with a light drizzle of olive oil and serve immediately alongside toasted bread or fresh slices.
Observations
Steak tartare is a classic preparation that celebrates the natural freshness of high-quality beef. The secret to success lies in hand-chopping the meat with a sharp knife, a technique that yields a texture far superior to that of machine-ground beef. It should be served immediately upon preparation to ensure the ideal temperature and freshness.
This version incorporates balanced ingredients like capers and mustard, which provide the essential acidity and piquancy needed to elevate the meat's profile. Pair it with crisp toasted bread or slices of fresh loaf for a satisfying contrast of textures.
