Yep with Wagyu beef 😋

I went to a restaurant in Germany a few times where one of the entrées was a kind of pork tartare.  I tried it a couple of times, but wasn't really sold on it!

Can't imagine pork working.

Tartare success really depends on the quality of the ingredients and person assembling it, it needs the right level of input and most chefs seem to either choke it with raw onion or under season it so much it's just bland raw meat with no great hits to it. 

The first time I had it was in Raymond Blancs place and it was so good I order it whenever I see it on the menu and am always disappointed. Making it myself reminds me why I like it so much and on keep ordering it out even though it's a let down 😂

That's 2 of us "missing out". That looks like something to plug a bust radiator bar the egg topping.

Not going to cook it?

Mandis birthday tomorrow and she's chosen steak for her birthday meal. This is normally accompanied by boiled spuds and fried onions. I'll do my best to get a pic but once that buggers aroma gets around to house it'll be lucky to get off the griddle.

Steak has that effect doesn't it 😁

All of my lot are pretty proficient at cooking steak but it doesn't matter who's doing it there's alway's hovering around going on 😆

I never had steak tartare, but have a craving to have some. Once in Belgium I was undecided on what to pick for dinner, it was January and really cold so went with hot food. The guy next table had the tartare and I gawked at how it was sliced and prepared right there, what did get to me was the mustard, seems like an obvious choice too, no mustard on yours?

You could have mustard but because it's not cooked the flavour is very mild and it would overpower the rest of it. The needed flavourings are usually mixed into the diced meat before it's served. Traditionally this is a very small amount of shallot, spring onion or capers and salt. I prefer a tiny dash of aminos or soy sauce.

The problem with it is it is wholly depended on the quality of the meat and the person adding the seasonings, too much and it's easily overpowered, too little and it's bland. As everyone likes different strengths of flavours it's hard for chef to get it right for everyone. I prefer to be able to taste the flavour of the meat so I go lightly with a small amount of spring onion. 

If you can hit the right note it's amazing if you miss it it's a disappointment. 

You could also do with some rarely offered good quality bread as it is a surprisingly rich dish. 

ps you're up late, I hope you're not too tired today!
