Observations
Steak Tartare is a classic recipe that celebrates the freshness of beef. The secret to this dish's success is hand-dicing the meat with a knife, ensuring a texture far superior to machine-minced meat. Serve it immediately after preparation to maintain the ideal temperature and freshness.
This version features balanced ingredients like capers and mustard, which provide the necessary acidity and a spicy kick to enhance the meat's flavour. Serve with crunchy toast or fresh bread slices for an irresistible contrast in textures.
