Beef tartare is a true delicacy for raw meat enthusiasts. Paired with crispy fries, it's an absolute delight.
As a seasoned home cook who champions traditional methods, I prepare mine by finely dicing with a knife—a simple, quick approach that preserves the meat's natural texture and intensifies its fresh flavor far better than using minced meat.
A sharp knife is essential for this authentic preparation.
First, slice the beef into thin strips, then dice into tiny cubes using your sharp knife. Finely chop the peeled shallot, capers, and parsley the same way.
In a bowl, combine the diced meat with the shallot, capers, parsley, mustard, ketchup, and Worcestershire sauce. Add a touch of Tabasco, salt, and pepper, then mix thoroughly.
Divide the tartare into equal portions on plates, shaping each into a neat circle. Create a small well in the center of each and gently place an egg yolk inside.
It's ready to serve! Enjoy with fried potatoes, french fries, or a fresh salad. This knife-diced version stays true to tradition, delivering refreshing, bold taste.
