Ingredients (Serves 4):
- 200g of organic beef
- 2 teaspoons of Beef Garum
- Mustard
- Shallots
- Capers
- Egg yolk
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO)
- Brandy
- Worcestershire sauce
Instructions:
-
The key to a sublime beef tartar is in the dressing, and Garum is here to help you achieve it. Begin by finely mincing the organic beef with the precision of a very sharp knife.
-
Dice one shallot into fine pieces. To mellow its aggressiveness, briefly blanch the shallots in boiling water for just 2-3 seconds, then drain them.
-
Dice ten capers, and in a mixing bowl, combine the blanched shallots, capers, a few drops of EVOO, a teaspoon of brandy, and a few drops of Worcestershire sauce.
-
Now, it's time to introduce the star ingredient: Beef Garum. Add two teaspoons of Beef Garum to the mix, elevating the complexity and intensity of your tartar.
-
For an intriguing twist, create a crispy, runny-centered treat. Open an egg and gently place the yolk on a bed of breadcrumbs, covering it with more breadcrumbs. Freeze this breadcrumb-coated yolk.
-
Heat some oil to 180°C (356°F) and fry the frozen egg yolk for 1 minute and 30 seconds until it becomes crisp on the outside but retains its delectable runny center.
-
To assemble your masterpiece, serve your beautifully dressed tartar and place the crispy, golden yolk on top. It's a visual and textural delight that adds a unique touch to your dish.
The result? A harmonious and properly dressed tartar that respects and enhances the delicate taste of the raw beef. Garum plays a pivotal role in achieving the perfect balance of flavors, elevating your beef tartar to an art form.
