Steak tartare offers a unique blend of rich, savory, and slightly tangy flavors, with a smooth, almost buttery texture.
The primary flavor comes from the high-quality raw beef, typically tenderloin or sirloin, which has a natural umami richness. This is balanced by the acidity of ingredients like capers, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and sometimes vinegar or lemon juice. Onions or shallots add a pungent bite, while fresh herbs like parsley provide brightness. Egg yolk contributes to the creamy texture and enhances the overall richness. The combination creates a complex flavor profile that is both satisfying and refreshing.

Meat Quality is Key
Use only the freshest, highest-quality cuts of beef from a reputable source. Tenderloin or sirloin are preferred because of their tenderness and flavor.
Proper Handling and Storage
Keep the beef refrigerated at all times and handle it with clean utensils. Prepare the tartare just before serving to minimize the risk of bacterial contamination.
Balancing Flavors
Adjust the seasoning and acidity to your taste. Taste as you go and add more mustard, capers, or Worcestershire sauce to achieve the desired balance of flavors.
Egg Yolk
Use pasteurized egg yolks to reduce the risk of salmonella. If unavailable, omit the egg yolk entirely.
