Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

16 ounces top sirloin, cleaned and trimmed
2 teaspoons sherry vinegar
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
2 large egg yolks
1/4 cup light olive oil
6 tablespoons finely diced shallots
2 tablespoons small, brined capers, drained and unrinsed

1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest

Steps:

  • Cut the steak into 1-inch cubes and park in the freezer for 10 minutes.

ORIGINAL STEAK TARTARE



Original Steak Tartare image

The legend goes that Tartare tribes when fighting in the past didn't even have time to stop and cook their food. They are said to have kept the meat underneath their saddles and mince it in this way. Today this dish is a gourmet classic. This dish is eaten like a pate, spread on a piece of warm toast with fresh tomato and onion rings on top. It is very important though to make sure that both the meat and the egg are very fresh because they are eaten raw.

STEAK TARTARE (THANKS TO FREDY)



Steak Tartare (Thanks to Fredy) image

Tartare is a word that the French give to something with (mostly) raw ingredients that are minced and/or chopped. This is a world-famous, award-winning recipe given to my father by the barman at a deluxe hotel, who would knock this up on demand in record time. And boy, was it in demand! Chop the beef by hand, as machines tend to crush the meat and you end up with a soggy mess. My father's award-winning barman friend (sadly, now no longer with us) actually used 2 knives simultaneously in each hand to do this. He prepared the whole thing, including chopping the meat, in 15 minutes. If he knew he was going to be busy, then he pre-cut and sliced and diced everything beforehand, in which case he served it in less than 5 minutes. Serve with thin, buttered toast.

GERMAN STEAK TARTARE (HORS D'OEUVRES)



German Steak Tartare (hors D'oeuvres) image

Many Germans are partial to ground meats, and one of the most famous ground-beef dishes they serve is Steak Tartare. Traditionally, the beef for this unusual dish is chopped or ground very fine and served as soon as possible thereafter. It is shaped into a loaf, a well is pressed into the center, and an egg yolk is carefully dropped into the well. The meat is surrounded with capers, onions, parsley, and anchovy fillets; salt and pepper are on the side. The beef is then combined with all the condiments at the table in front of the guests, and is served with plenty of dark bread, butter, and frosty-cold steins of dark beer. This version is just as good but is prepared before your guests arrive and molded into a decorative ring shape. Be sure to use only the finest beef--prime, if available! McCall's Cooking School

Tips for Making Steak Tartare:

- Use the freshest, highest-quality steak you can find. Opt for a tender cut, such as filet mignon or rib eye. - Freeze the steak for at least 30 minutes before chopping. This will make it easier to dice and prevent it from becoming too mushy. - Use a sharp knife to finely chop the steak. Do not use a food processor, as this will over-process the meat and make it tough. - Season the steak tartare with simple ingredients, such as salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard. Avoid using too many ingredients, as this can overwhelm the flavor of the steak. - Serve the steak tartare immediately after preparing it. It is best enjoyed fresh. - If you are new to steak tartare, start with a small portion. It can be an acquired taste.

Steak tartare is a delicious and unique dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a romantic dinner. It is important to use high-quality ingredients and to follow the tips above to ensure that the dish is safe and enjoyable. With a little practice, you can easily make steak tartare at home.
