What Is Steak Tartare?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Steak tartare is a classic French dish prepared with raw beef and a homemade emulsion made from a mix of raw egg yolks and mustard. It was created in the late 19th century and inspired by the romanticized legend of the nomadic Central Asian Tatars. Rumor has it that they used to tenderize raw meat beneath their saddles as they rode!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When people see it for the first time, they always ask me: what does steak tartare taste like?<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I know, this is the scary part. But the truth is that it DOES NOT TASTE LIKE RAW MEAT at all. The chopped mix has a strong participation in the taste, making it feel just like a rich, creamy dip. The fresh lemon and Dijon mustard create a bright citrus flavor, and the soft texture honestly kinda reminds me of eating a really good tuna sushi.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Why This Recipe Works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On my recent trip to Colombia, I explored so many beautiful places, not just to discover myself<\/em>, but to discover new food. I visited several restaurants, and while I ate a lot of incredible local dishes, it was actually at an international steakhouse called FACTORY Steak & Lobster<\/em> that this specific dish got my attention immediately. Imagine my surprise when I asked about it, and they offered to prepare it right in front of me at the table. Crazy, right?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, I filmed everything and posted the whole experience in a quick video! You can watch the full table-side preparation in my YouTube Short<\/a> to see exactly how it was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the server mentioned, this dish is very fast and easy to make. People usually think that preparing a raw beef appetizer is too complicated to try at home, but it really is not. Plus, buying the meat to make it yourself is way less expensive than ordering it out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This simplified version has the whole essence of the original recipe without the complicated steps that usually make it difficult to cook at home. What really makes this recipe stand out is the Dijon emulsion. Whisking egg yolk with mustard and slowly drizzling in olive oil creates a creamy base that coats every single piece of beef.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
