Beef tartar

A dish that celebrates  great beef. The one on the picture is done by my Mum, all the credit goes to her. Her choice of meat would be fillet, best one can obtain. It’s finely minced, seasoned with salt and pepper, some paprika and olive oil and worked by hand for a few minutes to make the meat smooth and shiny.

Mum then forms the meat in portions, to make it look good, makes a small hole in each and puts a raw egg yolk in the middle, for everyone to mix in by themselves. The egg has to be fresh and lovely as well, as it will not be cooked. Last thing to do is chop some white onions finely, some mushrooms marinated in vinegar and some pickled cucumber, prepared same way.

It’s good to put some salt and pepper on the table, as well some Delikat or other liquid sauce to improve the taste if somebody prefers it more salty.

Some cold vodka goes great with it.
