Anthony Bourdain's Steak Tartare | BTB E90

raw beef

🥗Healthier: lean ground turkey

💰Cheaper: ground beef

Ground turkey is lower in fat while ground beef is more economical.

egg yolk

🥗Healthier: avocado

💰Cheaper: cooked egg

Avocado provides creaminess without cholesterol, while cooked egg is a safer option.

capers

🥗Healthier: chopped olives

💰Cheaper: pickles

Chopped olives offer a similar briny flavor, while pickles are more accessible.

Worcestershire sauce

🥗Healthier: soy sauce

💰Cheaper: homemade sauce

Soy sauce is lower in calories and easy to find.

Start with raw, cold, semi-frozen beef.

Trim the exterior layer of the beef to avoid bacteria.

Slice the beef into strips and then dice it, being careful not to mince it.

Place the diced beef into a chilled metal bowl.

Add about 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard and a splash of olive oil to the bowl.

Add the egg yolk to the mixture.

Whisk the ingredients together.

Add about 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce.

Incorporate about 1 teaspoon of anchovy paste for flavor.

Add 1 teaspoon of capers without chopping them.

Dice 2 to 3 cornichons and add them to the mixture.

Season with black pepper to taste, approximately six cracks of the grinder.

Add a pinch of salt, considering the brininess of the anchovies and capers.

Add chopped parsley to the mixture.

Plate the tartare and prepare to taste it.
