How to choose a good meat?
The best meat for a tartare steak is the Sirloin. Also Silverside will be very good (it is a bit lower quality meat but usually a lot cheaper than sirloin!).
My father is a vet. He knows how to choose a good meat. It is important to buy it from a safe place. The best, just tell the vendor that you need meat for a tartar.
(Pregnant women shouldn’t eat raw meat because of the Toxoplasma contamination risk).

1. My father ground the meat by himself (if you have a machine it takes only few minutes!). He do it twice to get the meat finely choped. Next, he adds some olive oil and mix it with the meat.

2. Next, he distributes all portions on the plates and he puts an egg yolk on the top of each.

3. He then dices onions, pickled cucumber and adds copers and pickled mushrooms. My dad leaves all ingredients on the side so then everybody can mix everything in their favorite way!
