  • Steak Tartare

  • Steak Tartare Start by taking the meat out of the fridge an hour before you need to prepare it and shape the patties.
  • Steak Tartare
  • Thoroughly knead the meat and add a pinch of salt and freshly ground pepper.
  • When you're ready to start cooking, finely chop your capers, bell peppers, pickled red onions, and onions into small squares/pieces.
  • Steak Tartare
  • Cut 2 thick slices of bread, place the patties on them, and press them down firmly so that they align with the edges of the bread.
  • Heat a pan on high heat and add the butter. As soon as the butter has melted, place the patties on the pan (meat side down).
  • Steak Tartare
  • Since the meat is dry-aged, it's important not to overcook it as it doesn't contain as much moisture as "normal"/non-dry-aged meat. Therefore, add an extra minute cooking time on each side if your minced meat is not dry-aged.
  • Cook it for 4 minutes while pressing down on the patties to prevent them from shrinking. We typically use an ovenproof dish for this.
  • Then flip the meat and cook it for 2 minutes on the bread side to ensure the bread becomes crispy as the meat cooks.
  • Remove the steak tartare from the pan and serve immediately with capers, fried egg, onions, bell pepper, and pickled red onions.
