Ingredients for Wagyu Beef Tartare

Method

Directions for Preparing Wagyu Beef Tartare

  1. 1

    Prepare the Black Garlic Purée

    In a blender, combine black garlic cloves and olive oil. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Beef Tartare

    Finely dice the Wagyu beef tenderloin and place it in a mixing bowl. Add capers, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently to combine.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Cured Egg Yolks

    If not using pre-cured yolks, cure the yolks by immersing them in salt for about 4 hours. Rinse and pat dry before use.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Dish

    On a plate, spread a layer of black garlic purée. Place the Wagyu beef tartare on top, forming a neat mound. Garnish with frisée, pickled daikon radish, and the cured egg yolks. Serve with crostini and lavosh on the side.
