Danish Parisian steak
Ingredients
- 2 slices Sandwich Bread
- 1 pcs. Shallots
- 18 gram Capers
- 400 gram Ground Beef
- 2 pcs. Egg Yolk
- Butter For Frying
- Watercress
- Pickled beets
Instructions
- Start by taking the meat out of the refrigerator one hour before it is to be cooked and form the patties.
- Knead it well, and give it a little salt and freshly ground pepper.
- Chop capers, onions, and beets into fine small squares/pieces.
- Cut 2 thick slices of bread, place the patties on them and press them well into the bread – make sure it goes to the edge and takes the bread’s shape. If you feel like baking your own bread, we also have a recipe for homemade sandwich bread.
- Heat a pan on high heat, and place the butter on it. As soon as the butter has melted, put the patties on the pan (with the meat side down).
- Fry for 5 minutes, while pressing down on the patties so they do not contract. We typically place an ovenproof dish on top as weight.
- Then turn the meat and give it 2 minutes on the bread side, so you are sure the bread becomes crispy while the meat is cooked.
- Remove the steak tartare from the pan and serve immediately with capers, egg yolk, onions, beets, and cress. Here’s the recipe for the pickled beets.
