Steak Tartare

Blueberry Balsamic Gastrique

Method

Steak Tartare Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef

    Finely chop the beef tenderloin using a sharp knife. Aim for a very small dice for a smooth texture.

  2. 2

    Mix Ingredients

    In a bowl, combine the chopped beef, finely diced shallot, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Dish

    Spoon the tartare mixture onto a chilled plate. Create a small well in the center and carefully place the egg yolk on top.

  4. 4

    Serve with Crackers

    Arrange the saltines around the tartare for dipping.

Blueberry Balsamic Gastrique Preparation

  1. 5

    Cook the Gastrique

    In a small saucepan, combine blueberries, balsamic vinegar, and sugar over medium heat. Bring to a simmer.

  2. 6

    Reduce the Mixture

    Allow the mixture to simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.

  3. 7

    Strain the Gastrique

    Remove from heat and strain the gastrique through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the solids. Let it cool.

  4. 8

    Drizzle and Serve

    Drizzle the blueberry balsamic gastrique over the steak tartare before serving.
