Steak Tartare

Ingredients

• 300g high-quality beef fillet, freshly minced or finely chopped
• 1 small shallot, finely diced
• 2 tbs of capers, rinsed and chopped
• 2 tbs of fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 1 tbs of Dijon mustard
• 1 tbs of olive oil or avocado oil
• 1 tsp of Worcestershire sauce
• 1 raw egg yolk (optional)
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• Toast or crackers, for serving
• Cornichons for serving

Directions

1. Start Fresh: Use very fresh, well-chilled beef. It's crucial for steak tartare
2. Mix: In a bowl, combine minced beef, shallots, capers, parsley, mustard, oil, and Worcestershire sauce until evenly mixed.
3. Season: Add salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
4. Plate: Shape into patties or mounds. Make a small well in the center and add an egg yolk, if using.
5. Serve: Serve immediately with toast or crackers on the side. Cornichons or pickles make a great crunchy, tangy side.
