Steak Tartare

To prepare a delicious beef tartare, start by carefully trimming the center part of the beef tenderloin, ensuring you choose a fresh and high-quality piece. Cut this tenderloin into very thin slices, making sure to use a sharp knife to achieve even cuts. Once you have the slices, you can cut them into narrow strips and then into small cubes. This cutting method will allow the flavors to combine better and will provide a pleasant texture to the tartare.

Continue with the anchovy fillet, cutting it into cubes similar to the beef tenderloin. This will add a unique flavor and an intense umami to your dish. After finishing with the anchovy, move on to the onion. Choose a red onion for its sweet taste and vibrant color. Cut the onion into small cubes, being careful not to make them too large, so they do not overpower the other ingredients.

The next step is to prepare the pickled cucumber, which will add a pleasant contrast of sour and crunchy. Cut it into small cubes, similar to the onion. Then, take some capers, which will provide a salty note and a distinct flavor. Chop them finely to integrate perfectly into the mixture. Finally, finely chop the fresh parsley, which will bring a note of freshness and enhance the appearance of the tartare.

For the sauce, take an egg yolk and mix it in a bowl. Add half a teaspoon of Dijon mustard, a few drops of Worcestershire sauce, a teaspoon of lemon juice, salt, and pepper to taste. Use a whisk to emulsify the ingredients until you achieve a homogeneous and creamy mixture. This base will perfectly bind all the ingredients together.

After mixing all the ingredients, combine them in a large bowl, being careful to incorporate them gently so as not to crush the cubes. The tartare is best served on a slice of toasted bread, which will add crunchiness and make the dish more filling. If you want to add extra flavor, you can spread the bread with butter before adding the tartare, but if you prefer a healthier option, drizzle the tartare with a few drops of high-quality olive oil.

The proportions of the ingredients are essential to achieving a successful tartare, so follow the recipe carefully and do not hesitate to adjust the seasoning to your taste. The dish will be all the more delicious as you use fresh and high-quality ingredients. Serve this tartare as an appetizer on a special evening or at a meal with friends, and it will surely be an absolute success!
