Boeuf Tartare
The simplest paleo dish: a tartar steak. Calls for quality (and usually low fat) minced meat and is totally RAW. May be seasoned according to taste. Also pretty civilized, so if you wanna be a posh cave(wo)man, try this.

Steak Tartar
- minced meat (preferably low in fat, this time)
- salt
- pepper
- (optional: an egg yolk, worcestershire sauce, minced onion)
Season the meat and mix well by hand. Add egg yolk or other ingredients if you prefer, I just stuck with this very basic stuff. Form into a patty and eat away! Soooo sophisticated.
Some people suggest sides such as
- pickles
- raw onion
- anchovy
- olives
- pickled onion
- capers
Choose your weapons.

I love raw meat. I usually just secretly eat it out of the package by hand. I prefer organic but have taken my chances and have never had a food poisoning from my naughty habit. By the way the steak tartar should be minced twice using a fork and filet mignon is the way to go. But now I’m just being flashy.

I too love it! I always end up eating half of the meatball or burger dough
So I thought, why not make tartars to begin with…
And yes you’re correct, should be using flashy filet mignon. But it’s the supersaver model! And I try only eating organic meat, especially when raw. Do you have some special additions in your raw meat or tartars?
CHaos, maistappa on meinaan melekosen maukasta! Et uskois
Itekään en aiemmin olis koskenutkaan ja sittemmin olin 13 vuotta ilman punaista lihaa, nykyään en MILLÄÄN luopuis. EN MILLÄÄN!!!++!! ;-D
