Where to find ingredients
Purchase fresh, high-quality beef from a local butcher shop or the premium meat counter at your supermarket. Ensure the produce, eggs, and fresh herbs are sourced from the refrigerated produce aisle. As a substitute for tenderloin, bottom round or top round are excellent choices.
Preparation method
- Ensure all ingredients are fresh and chopped before you begin the preparation
- Hand-chop the beef with a sharp knife to obtain small, uniform cubes
- Place the beef in a mixing bowl and add the egg yolk, mustard, capers, Worcestershire sauce, onion, parsley, chives, salt, pepper, and paprika
- Gently fold the ingredients together until the seasonings are evenly distributed throughout the meat
- Add the lemon juice and stir lightly to incorporate the flavors
- Taste the mixture and adjust salt or pepper according to your preference
- Shape the steak into individual portions using a metal ring or form them delicately by hand
- Transfer the portions to individual serving plates
- Finish with a drizzle of olive oil and serve immediately with toasted bread or crusty bread
Observations
Steak Tartare is a classic recipe that celebrates the freshness of high-quality beef. The secret to success lies in hand-chopping the meat with a knife, which provides a far superior texture compared to machine-ground beef. Serve immediately after preparation to maintain the ideal temperature and freshness.
This version features a balanced blend of ingredients like capers and mustard, providing the acidity and spicy kick needed to elevate the flavor of the meat. Serve alongside crunchy crostini or fresh bread slices for an irresistible contrast in textures.
