Steak tartare
Hand-chopped raw beef with shallot, cornichons, capers, parsley, Dijon mustard, hot sauce and egg yolk.
About Steak tartare
Steak tartare is a French classic of finely hand-chopped raw beef seasoned immediately before serving. This profile follows a concise restaurant-style version with shallot, cornichons, capers, parsley, Dijon mustard, hot sauce and an egg yolk.
The beef remains the central flavour, sharpened by salty capers and tangy cornichons. Shallot and parsley add freshness, while Dijon mustard and hot sauce supply pungency and controlled heat beneath the rich yolk.
The finished tartare is deep red, finely textured and loosely bound rather than minced to a paste. The egg yolk sits glossy on top and becomes a creamy coating when mixed through.
