Ingredients

  • 500 g of beef

  • Hot pepper

Description

The name of this dish comes from the tribes of Tatars. According to a legend (that is probably really just a legend) they put raw pieces of meat under the saddle and rode them tender.

Towards the end of the 19th century, the first refrigerators appeard. Although they only worked with ice, they opened up new avenues for the chefs. The famous Frenchman Auguste Escoffier created the original version of the 'steak tartare' in 1921. This was minced beef sirloin served with a 'tartare sauce' - a mayonnaise prepared with boiled egg yolk and herbs.

In our version, you chop the meat with your own hands - so you know exactly that it is fresh. Cornichons, onions, pepper, horseradish and mustard enhance the flavour of the meat and the quail egg. Beef Tartar should always be consumed immediately.
