30 minutes
Beef tartare is an exquisite dish of French cuisine that combines the tenderness of raw meat with spicy notes of seasoning. Historically, tartare traces back to nomadic peoples who consumed raw meat but over time gained refinement in French restaurants. In this version, juicy beef fillet is complemented by bacon for a rich flavor, while shallots and pickles add zest. Balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, and sriracha sauce create a vibrant balance of sour and spicy. Served chilled with crispy baguette or potato chips, it highlights its complexity and sophistication. This dish is an ideal choice for gourmets who appreciate rich flavors and haute cuisine traditions.
