steak tartare

Steak tartare is a dish made from chopped raw beef or horse meat. To make it taste good, chefs often add seasonings or a raw egg yolk. The first modern version of steak tartare was served in a French restaurant in the 20th century. But, there are some health concerns with this dish. You have to be very careful when eating/serving steak tartare. You could possibly get salmonella if the food isn't fresh.

You shouldn't really make steak tartare at home for many reasons. For example some recipes call for pre-packaged beef and that is not very sanitary because there could be different parts of the cow that you don't know or want in your food. you can make people really sick by that. Even if you find a decent recipe make sure if you want to try this that it is a trustworthy source. But if you do decide to make this here is what you will need, 1/2 lb grass fed ground beef, 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard, 1/2 tsp teriyaki sauce, 1/2 tsp brandy, 1 well beaten egg make sure to wash the egg in soap and water first. If you are worried about bacteria and pesticides in your meat just freeze it for 14 days.

There was a tale that a horseman would take a slice of horse meat and put it under their saddle. As they rode around, the meat would get tenderized by all of the pounding. But of course that isn't true, steak tartare really started after World War II.
