Tart And Tangy Steak Food

STEAK TARTARE (BEEF TARTARE)

Steps:

• Place the beef in the freezer for about 1 hour until the exterior begins to firm up and form crystals but it's still easily pierced with a knife. This will make it easier to finely hand-chop.
• Meanwhile, prep the shallot, capers, cornichons, and parsley in a small bowl, and set aside. In another small bowl whisk together the egg yolk, vinegar, mustard, oil, Worcestershire, and hot sauce.
• Remove the beef from the freezer, slice it thinly against the grain, then slice into fine strips, and then finally dice into small cubes, about ¼-inch across. Transfer the beef to a large mixing bowl and gently combine it with the shallot and caper mixture as well as the dressing. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed with salt, pepper, etc.
• Divide into 4 equal portions, press each portion into a round cookie cutter on a plate. Remove the ring and serve immediately, preferably with toast points/toasted baguette slices, fries and/or salad.

EXTRA TANGY TARTAR SAUCE RECIPE

• In a medium bowl, mix together mayonnaise, dill pickles, shallots, capers, parsley, lemon juice, mustard, black pepper, salt, and hot sauce. Let sit for 30 minutes, then use immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
