[Intro music]
Steak tartare is a meat dish made from finely chopped
or ground raw beef.
The key to a successful steak tartare is to use fresh beef
that you will hand chop or ground at the last minute
before serving.
The proper way to serve it is to bring the meat
and the seasoning on the top, to the table.
The guest will then mix everything together.
Nowadays, most restaurants serve it already mixed.
If you don't have a meat grinder, which is always nice to have,
you can use a very sharp knife and simply chop, chop and chop
until very fine. The texture will be superior.
But please do not dare to use a food processor on this dish.
You will completely destroy it.
To make a steak tartare you will need: raw beef, chopped parsley,
eggs, chopped onions, chopped gherkins, chopped capers,
sandwich bread, seasoning, pepper, salt, olive oil,
Dijon mustard, Tabasco, Worcestershire sauce
also known as Lea & Perrins sauce, and ketchup.
First of all, grind the meat or chop it with a sharp blade.
I have a grinder, so I'm going to use it.
Today I'm using the tail part of a beef tenderloin,
but you may use top sirloin or sirloin, or rump steak.
What you want is to have a very lean meat.
So grind the meat. [grinding sounds]
There are two ways to serve steak tartare.
The first one is to present the meat with the ingredients
around and each guest will season his own steak tartare.
Or the other way is to season in advance and mix everything
together and serve the tartare ready to eat.
So, let's start with the first way.
Shape the meat into a ball and serve it on a cold plate.
I'm going to leave the meat in the fridge for the next one.
Then make a hollow in the center.
Add about a tablespoon of garnish around of parsley.
About a tablespoon of chopped onions.
You can replace the chopped onions with shallots.
Then the gherkins, a good tablespoon.
Add the capers, so same amount, about a tablespoon. There we go.
Then prepare the egg.
So break the egg and pass the yolk from one shell to the other. 43 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:29,200 Then place the yolk in the hollow of the meat.
So this is how you will serve the steak tartare.
You will bring the sauces, so the salt, the pepper,
the Dijon mustard, the Tabasco, the English sauce,
the olive oil and the ketchup at the table,
and the person will season his own steak.
Now let me show you how to prepare the steak tartare.
Let's prepare our second tartare now.
Break the egg.
Separate the yolk from the white.
Place the yolk in a bowl.
Then add the Dijon mustard.
So I'm doing half of the recipe, so about half tablespoon.
About a teaspoon of ketchup. The English sauce.
A little bit of Tabasco, so a drop. The olive oil.
And the seasoning,
salt and freshly ground peppercorn. [grinding sounds]
Mix well. [mixing sounds]
Then add about half tablespoon of gherkins.
Same thing for the onion. And the parsley. And the capers.
Mix well.
Those ingredients will bring a kick to the steak tartare.
Then add the meat.
And mix well. [mixing sounds]
Taste. Mm, very good.
I won't put anymore seasoning, it's great as it is.
There is no dominant flavor. Beautiful. It's well-seasoned.
Let's plate it on a cold plate.
Then serve the tartare in a ring, just to ball it or shape it.
Press down.
I love steak tartare.
So then make it nice.
Remove the ring slowly, great.
And serve it with french fries.
So let's put a few.
Serve the steak tartare with some pointed toast.
So I'm just removing the crust.
And we are going to cut it in half or in quarters, up to you.
And a little bit of fresh mayonnaise or ketchup
for the french fries.
Serve your steak tartare immediately.
If you are going to make steak tartare,
it must be done a la minute, meaning it must be done
and consumed immediately after that.
It cannot be made in advance.
Enjoy your steak tartare. Bon Appetit.
