Where to find ingredients
For the beef, source very fresh, lean, high-quality topside or sirloin from a reputable local butcher; explain you need it 'triply ground' or extremely fine for raw consumption. White onions and fresh herbs like parsley and scallions are readily available in the produce section of any standard grocery store. For the bread, look for traditional, dense dark rye, sourdough, or pumpernickel loaves in the bakery section of artisanal grocery stores or local independent bakeries to provide the necessary texture and structure for the dish.
Preparation method
- Place the ground beef in a mixing bowl
- Fold in the finely diced onion
- Season generously with salt and freshly cracked black pepper
- Drizzle with the extra virgin olive oil
- Mix everything thoroughly until the seasonings are perfectly integrated into the meat
- Spread the mixture evenly over slices of dark rye or pumpernickel bread
- Finish with a generous sprinkle of fresh scallions and parsley before serving
Observations
Often enjoyed as a classic bar snack, this dish features high-quality raw beef seasoned with aromatic fresh ingredients. It is traditionally served atop slices of dense, crusty dark bread to perfectly balance the rich intensity of the seasoned meat.
