Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation of Wagyu Tartare

  1. 1

    Prepare the Wagyu Beef

    Finely chop the Wagyu beef using a sharp knife. Aim for a uniform chop, taking care not to grind it, as you want to maintain the texture.

  2. 2

    Combine Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, add the chopped Wagyu beef, finely chopped shallot, chopped capers, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and olive oil. Mix gently to combine.

  3. 3

    Season the Mixture

    Season the mixture with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Be careful not to over-season, as the flavor of the beef should shine through.

  4. 4

    Add Egg Yolk

    Make a small well in the center of the tartare mixture and place the raw egg yolk on top.

Serving

  1. 5

    Plate the Tartare

    Using a ring mold or a round cutter, portion the tartare onto a plate, ensuring it is compact and holds its shape.

  2. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Sprinkle the chopped chives over the top of the tartare. Serve with microgreens or arugula on the side, along with sliced baguette or crackers for scooping.
