30 minutes
Beef tartare with capers, mushrooms, and red onion is an exquisite dish of French cuisine, embodying sophistication and gastronomic boldness. Its origins date back centuries when raw meat was an integral part of the nomadic warriors' diet. Today, tartare is a symbol of elegant cooking where each ingredient plays its role. Tender beef fillet harmonizes with the spiciness of capers, pickles, and the subtle sweetness of red onion, creating a balance of flavors. The mustard note and spiciness of Worcestershire sauce enhance the dish's complexity while the quail yolk adds creaminess. Served with arugula and crispy white bread, tartare is not only rich in taste but also aesthetically perfect. It’s an ideal choice for connoisseurs of gastronomic art wishing to experience the spirit of French cuisine.

1
Wash the meat, remove membranes and veins, dry it, and cut into small cubes.

2
Chop finely: mushrooms, red onion, cucumbers, capers.
- Pickled mushrooms: 30 g
- Red onion: 1 head
- Pickles: 60 g
- Pickled capers: 2 tablespoons
3
We leave half of the garnish for decoration, mix the rest in a large bowl with meat, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, and mustard (trying not to damage the grains). Add salt and pepper.
- Worcestershire sauce: 1 teaspoon
- Soy sauce: 1 ml
- French mustard: 1 teaspoon
- Sea salt: to taste

From the resulting mass on the plate, we form a cylinder (it's better to use a mold).

In the middle, we make a depression and pour in the raw yolk from a quail egg.

Place the arugula on a plate in a small 'mountain', seasoned with balsamic vinegar and olive oil.

- Balsamic vinegar: to taste

Cut a piece of bread in half to make two triangles. Lightly toast in a toaster or on a grill pan.
