Before you start
The quantities given here are based on this recipe served as a starter (75 g of beef/serving). Double the quantities if serving as a main course.
For taste and food safety, it is essential to use only the highest quality and freshest raw beef, from a reputable butcher. Tenderloin and rib steak are the best choices. Never use previously ground meat.
It is recommended to freeze the meat for about 1 h before using it in order to reduce the number of microorganisms that could contain the flesh.
Method
- Separate the egg whites and yolks. Set the whites aside in a glass jar with a lid and put them in the refrigerator or freezer for a future use in another recipe. Put the yolks in a bowl.
- Finely chop the shallots and capers, then add themto the bowl. Add the mustard, olive oil, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix well using a fork.
- Using a knife, chop the beef into small pieces until the desired consistency is obtained, then add the pieces to the bowl with the other ingredients. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Form the mixture into flattened mounds and place one mound onto each individual serving plate. Serve immediately.

I made it many times already because it is so simple and delicious. I ask the butcher to cut just the right amount. We prefer the rib steak to the tenderloin, we find it tastier.

While this recipe looks nice, may I humbly recommend the recipe for steak tartar from Anthony Bourdain's cookbook Les Halles.Not only does he use a little ketchup, yes ketchup, but he adds an ounce of cognac to a standard european version of " filet american".If you like beef tartar this is really good !
