Steak Tartare

Steak Tartare Serves 6

Steak Tartare is said to originate from the times of Genghis Khan. The legend being that
nomadic Tatar people of the Central Asian didn’t have time to cook and thus placed
meat underneath their horses' saddles, at the end of a journey the meat would be
tenderised and ready to eat. The good news is there is no requirement for you to ride
a horse whilst making this tasty dish, give it a try, it’s actually very nice.

Ingredients:
• 500g (1lb) pound finely ground beef fillet (Must be really fine)
• 1 small finely chopped white onion
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• Half a teaspoon of hot pepper sauce (Tabasco) optional
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon brandy
• Salt to taste
• Ground white pepper to taste
• 1 egg yolk

Mix all the ingredients together until well blended, refrigerate for 30 minutes to
allow the flavors to combine. Serve on toasts/crackers with some green salad as
dressing. My particular favourite is on a fresh bread role with a boiled egg on the
side and a sprinkling of pepper
