Steak tartare is a classic French delicacy made from raw premium minced beef. It is usually flavoured and served with onions, capers, and other seasonings and often served with a raw egg yolk on top of the dish. It's completely safe to enjoy beef raw as long as they are fresh. Typically this is a dish that you will enjoy when dining out, but are afraid to prepare at home. But a little courage and top-notch ingredients are all you need to make great beef tartare at home. It's best to get meat directly from a specialized butcher rather than from the supermarket. Keep the meat cold in the fridge until you are ready to prepare it.
The mince-like tenderloin is flavoured with a simple yet divine vinaigrette made with anchovy, caper, cornichon, eschalot, sriracha and Worcestershire sauce. You can also use sirloin, which is more affordable and provides the perfect flavour and texture combination for the tartare.

- Stir together all the ingredients for the vinaigrette in a jar with an airtight lid. Chill at least an hour before using.
- Using a sharp knife, thinly slice the beef, then finely chop until you have a mince-like consistency.
- Place the beef, vinaigrette, and salt in a bowl and gently fold together. Press plastic wrap directly on top of tartare mixture. Chill for 15 minutes to allow flavors to meld. Meanwhile place two serving plates in the fridge.
- Place a metal ring mold on a chilled plate. Spoon half of the beef mixture into ring mold. Smooth the op, and, using back of a spoon, make a small indentation in center of tartare. Remove ring. Carefully place 1 egg yolk in indentation. Repeat with remaining tartare mixture and the egg yolk.
- Sprinkle parsley evenly over tartare. Serve with caper berries and seedy crackers or crisped bread of your choice.
I haven't had steak tartare in years, I always did like it!

ReplyDeleteI had steak tartare a long time ago in a Swiss restaurant
ReplyDeleteLooks rather nice in its presentation.
ReplyDeleteQuelle belle présentation

ReplyDeleteNice presentation. I am not used to eating raw meat, so I will give this raw beef a pass.

Ohhh q maravilla de receta
ReplyDeleteIt's absolutely tempting!!!
ReplyDeleteThose seedy crackers looks nom and them capper berries crack me up as they look like... lol
ReplyDeleteBeautiful steak tartare. I love such cuisine once in a while. A change from my Chinese cooking.
ReplyDeleteThis would be a bit of a stretch for me but it sure does look good.
ReplyDeleteThis is one of those things that I've never made -- you're right that it's an "order out" item for us. Really should prepare my own one of these days -- I'm within a 20 or so minute walk of a first class butcher who always has nice prime meat. Nice recipe, and one I should make. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun and delicious idea! I also love the combo of flavors and the presentation!
ReplyDeleteThis looks and sounds terrific - really nice flavour and texture profile and eye-catching name, not to mention the elegant presentation. Another stunning restaurant-worth dish!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful presentation!!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness I love steak tartare! And that dressing is superb. Glad you only used the capers for presentation. I once ordered steak tartare and there were so many capers mixed in that I couldn’t really eat it. I guess the chef was experimenting…
ReplyDeletewoow looks delicious
ReplyDeleteHello!
ReplyDeleteMmmm looks delicious! Appetizing entry :) I love such entries, I am very willing to argue to do it. I like to cook, bake, fry :)
Greetings from Poland!
Bill, my beef-a-holic would love this! We've had it at restaurants, but never made it at home!
ReplyDeleteBeing a well done gal, I'll pass on steak tartare but your recipe is elegant and presentation quite beautiful!
ReplyDeleteJenna
This looks very delicious ;)
ReplyDeleteThis is definitely my favourite thing to order when dining out, it’s so extravagant. Years ago, when I first met my husband, I prepared tartare for his birthday meal, it wasn’t until years later that I discovered that he had to force himself to choke it down! We’ve been married tor 35 years!

Really looks like a delicious meal.
ReplyDeleteDear friend! As usual presentation is perfect! Can we use sesame seeds instead of seeds crackers or crisped bread?
ReplyDeleteThis looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteI haven't had steak tartare recently :)
All the best Jan
I never liked this before but as I try them again and again, I sort of acquired the taste for it. Now I am trying the venison ones, they are quite gamy so it will take a while
ReplyDeleteA great dish that is more enjoyable to eat at home, worth the preplanning to ensure the freshness and all.
