Sounds like steak tartar.........
What I described is more along the lines of a sauerbraten (w/o the extended cooking cycle, but WITH a much better flavour).
It's ALSO great to roll up with a stuffing, a la braciole or rouladen. If you marinate the beef in a citrus or cherry liqueur with perhaps a little red wine vinegar, try wrapping small thin slices of it around fresh melon balls. Unbelievable!
