Had some friends from WI that loved them. I always asked how much do you trust your butcher?
Steak Tartare.. If you are dealing with a reputable, high volume restaurant, with authentic ethnic French cuisine, it shouldn’t be a concern.. My restaurants served thousands of orders of Tartare over the years..
However, I wouldn’t trust the butcher unless they supplied high quality meats, to the types of restaurants that I described..
INGREDIENTS
3 medium oil-packed anchovy fillets (optional, adjust salt if added), rinsed and minced
2 teaspoons brined capers, drained and rinsed
3 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 large egg yolks
10 ounces USDA prime beef tenderloin, cut into small dice, covered, and refrigerated
2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
2 tablespoons finely chopped Italian parsley leaves
4 teaspoons olive oil
3 dashes hot sauce (such as Tabasco)
4 dashes Worcestershire sauce
3/4 teaspoon crushed chile flakes (optional)
INSTRUCTIONS
Combine anchovies (if using), capers, and mustard in a nonreactive bowl. Using a fork or the back of a spoon, mash ingredients until evenly combined; mix in egg yolks.
Use a rubber spatula to fold remaining ingredients into mustard mixture until thoroughly combined. Season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Serve immediately with toast points or french fries.
Call out the SWAT team. This is clearly far more reckless than those who would serve unpasteurized milk Heaven forbid.
Can’t they irradiate the raw meat without cooking it to kill bacteria? Maybe this is a bit expensive.
Raw hamburger?
No thanks.
That’s good old steak tartare; everybody knows that.
Found the item in question. Mettbrotchen. But the Europeans use raw pork. Raw pork....with diced onions on a buttered bun.
Unless you’re a cow, it’s not a ‘cannibal’ sandwich.
If you really want a rare hamburger, go to a Marriott hotel. Mr Marriott loves rare burgers, so every batch of ground beef in a Marriott is tested for e coli before it is brought to the hotel. Buying hamburger from some other place is a firing offense.
my former stepdad’s family ate this stuff at christmas. i love burgers but i never eat/ate raw meat.
