Steak tartare

Finely cut raw beef combined with condiments and seasoning.

Say it: stek tar-TAR (approximate English pronunciation)

Steak tartare presents raw beef in small pieces with ingredients such as capers, onions, herbs and mustard. An egg yolk may be incorporated or served alongside it. The dish is about the texture of the beef and the balance of seasoning, rather than a cooked steak. Menus may offer a prepared version or let diners adjust the accompaniments.
