Method

Steak Tartare Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef

    Finely chop the beef tenderloin using a sharp knife. Aim for a uniform texture, but do not grind the meat.

  2. 2

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped beef with the egg yolk, capers, finely minced shallot, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  3. 3

    Plate the Tartare

    Using a ring mold, shape the tartare mixture into a neat round on a chilled plate.

Salted Mango Preparation

  1. 4

    Prepare the Mango

    Peel and slice the ripe mango into thin strips or small cubes.

  2. 5

    Salt the Mango

    Sprinkle the sea salt over the mango pieces and let them sit for about 10 minutes to draw out some moisture.

Rice Emulsion Preparation

  1. 6

    Blend the Rice

    In a blender, combine the cooked jasmine rice and water. Blend until smooth and creamy.

  2. 7

    Finish the Emulsion

    Add lemon juice to the rice mixture and blend again to incorporate. Adjust consistency with more water if needed.

Garnishing

  1. 8

    Prepare the Garnish

    Finely slice the Thai chili for garnish. Use microgreens as a fresh topping.

  2. 9

    Serve the Dish

    Drizzle the rice emulsion around the plate, place the steak tartare in the center, top with salted mango, and finish with sliced Thai chili and microgreens.
