Chopped raw beef, seasoned with egg yolk, capers, salt, and spices.
According to the legend, the name "Steak or Beef Tartare" refers to the Tartars, the nomads who roamed Eastern Europe, for a time under the leadership of Attila the Hun. Fierce and bloodthirsty, the Tartars purportedly ate raw meat for strength.

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.

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 !
This is excellent! and very easy too.
