Steak Tartare

Toasted Crostini

Method

Steak Tartare Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef

    Finely chop the beef tenderloin using a sharp knife. Aim for a fine mince without turning the meat into a paste.

  2. 2

    Mix Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped beef, black truffle oil, Dijon mustard, capers, shallots, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently to combine all the ingredients thoroughly.

  3. 3

    Taste and Adjust

    Taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning with more salt or truffle oil if desired.

  4. 4

    Prepare Quail Eggs

    Carefully crack the quail eggs and separate the yolks from the whites, using only the yolks for the tartare.

Toasted Crostini Preparation

  1. 5

    Slice the Baguette

    Slice the French baguette into thin rounds, about 1/2 inch thick.

  2. 6

    Brush with Olive Oil

    Brush each slice with olive oil on both sides.

  3. 7

    Toast the Crostini

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and place the slices on a baking sheet. Bake for about 5-7 minutes or until golden and crispy, flipping halfway through.

Assembly

  1. 8

    Plate the Tartare

    Spoon the steak tartare mixture onto a serving plate, creating a small well in the center for the quail egg yolks.

  2. 9

    Add Egg Yolks

    Gently place the quail egg yolks in the center of each tartare mound.

  3. 10

    Serve with Crostini

    Arrange the toasted crostini around the tartare and serve immediately.
