Beef tartare - Step by step

At this stage, we can tell you that the preparation of tartar is certainly not difficult. At the beginning of everything you have to prepare the meat, which is either finely chopped or minced. In the latter case, it is advisable to grind the meat two or three times. Into this minced meat you put all the prepared ingredients. Mix the resulting mass thoroughly and start with a gradual seasoning, which is done with paprika, pepper, salt and cumin. The egg yolks are added last.

Of course, you don't have to eat beef tartare alone and just like that. Ideally, prepare toast in oil to go with it. An alternative is dry toast in a toaster oven, which you then drizzle with olive oil to soften. You can rub the toasts with garlic. This adds a real kick to the resulting combination of flavours. Then just tartare spread on toast, sprinkle with, for example, parsley and eat. Beef tartare is delicious not only as a main dish and meal of the day. In smaller quantities, it also makes a very tasty appetizer and a quick snack.
