Tartare di manzo
Perfect with Olio EVO
2 April, 2025
The *Tartare di manzo* is an elegant and refreshing dish, perfect as a starter or a light main course. It can be served with cherry tomatoes, green salad, or French fries for those who enjoy a crispy contrast, or with caramelized red onion, fresh herbs, or spices to customize its flavor. In any case, we recommend serving it raw with a drizzle of our extra virgin olive oil.
Ingredients*
- 300 g of beef (preferably tenderloin or sirloin), finely chopped by hand
- 1 cucchiaio di capperi, tritati
- 1 tablespoon of red onion, finely chopped
- 2–3 tablespoons of pickled gherkins, chopped
- 1–2 tablespoons of Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce
- 1–2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- A pinch of paprika (optional)
Serves: 4 people
Safety note: It is essential to use high-quality, fresh meat to ensure both safety and flavor.
Preparation
- Preparing the ingredients:
- Make sure the meat is very cold before chopping it. You can place it in the freezer for about 30 minutes to make cutting easier.
- Finely chop the meat by hand into very small pieces (or ask your butcher to prepare it for tartare).
- Preparing the tartare:
- In a large bowl, combine the chopped meat, capers, red onion, and pickled gherkins. Mix well.
- Add the Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and extra virgin olive oil. Mix again until all the ingredients are well combined.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add a pinch of paprika for extra color and flavor (optional).
- Divide the tartare into individual portions and shape them into small balls or discs with your hands or a food ring mold.
- Serving:
- Serve immediately with bread crostini or toasted bread.
Enjoy!
