Preparation

Traditionally the beef for beefsteak Tartar is ground very fine and served as soon as possible thereafter. Shape the beef into two mounds and place them in the center of separate serving plates. Make a well in the middle of the mounds and carefully drop an egg yolk in each.

Serve the salt, black pepper, capers, chopped onions, parsley and anchovy fillets in small separate saucers. The beef and other ingredients are then combined at the table to individual taste. Serve beefsteak Tartar with dark bread and butter.
