Beef Tartare

For the more adventurous , we prepared a beef tartare and it was divine. Here's the recipe, again inspired by Ricardo but with Rosie’s own touch!

Ingredients (4 servings)

Dressing

  • Olive oil 45 ml (2 tbsp)
  • 30 ml (1 tbsp) of Old Style mustard
  • 5 ml (1 tsp) of Dijon mustard
  • 15 ml (1 tbsp) of red wine vinegar
  • 15 ml (1 ½ tbsp)of capers, chopped
  • 1 tsp of harissa sauce
  • Salt and pepper

Beef

  • 250 g of filet mignon
  • ½ shallot, finely chopped
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 30 ml (2 tbsp) Fresh parsley, chopped

Preparation

  1. In a bowl, combine all the dressing ingredients. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  2. With a knife or crank grinder with a medium-sized grinding plate, grind the beef.
  3. In a bowl, combine the dressing, ground beef, shallots, egg yolk and parsley. Adjust the seasoning.
  4. Place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes prior to serving. Serve cold with an endive and spinach salad and toasted bread. For a beautiful presentation, use a cookie cutter or a cleaned tin can opened at both ends. Garnish with capers, if desired.
