Where to find ingredients
You can find these ingredients at any local grocery store or butcher shop. Look for fresh, high-quality beef in the meat department, and check the pantry aisles for capers, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. If you cannot find one of the suggested beef cuts, any lean, high-quality cut of beef is a suitable substitute for the main dish.
Preparation method
- Ensure all ingredients are fresh and chopped before starting.
- Hand-chop the meat with a knife to obtain small, uniform cubes.
- Place the meat in a bowl and add the egg yolk, mustard, capers, Worcestershire sauce, onion, parsley, chives, salt, pepper, and paprika.
- Mix everything gently until the seasonings are well distributed throughout the meat.
- Add the lemon juice and mix lightly to incorporate the flavors.
- Taste the mixture and adjust the salt or pepper according to your preference.
- Shape the steak into individual portions using a metal ring mold, or form them delicately with your hands.
- Transfer the shaped portions to individual serving plates.
- Finish with a drizzle of olive oil on top and serve immediately with toast or bread.
Observations
Steak Tartare is a classic dish that truly celebrates the freshness of high-quality beef. The secret to success here is hand-chopping the meat with a sharp knife; this technique provides a superior texture compared to machine-ground beef. Be sure to serve it immediately after preparation to maintain the ideal temperature and freshness.
This version features a balanced blend of ingredients like capers and mustard, which provide the necessary acidity and a sharp kick to elevate the meat's flavor. Serve it alongside crispy toast or slices of fresh bread for an irresistible contrast of textures.
