Asian inspired beef tartare recipe. Dinner party knockout.

in #food7 years ago

Good day Steemit community!
I realized that I have been away from ‘ye olde computer for a while, and figured I should give you something interesting today.
This one takes a while to prepare for, but adds a real “wow” factor to dinner parties (The starter menu in my case)
I tend to mix Japanese style cooking with classic French techniques, thus creating a weir fusion that nobody really asked for. But is tasty nonetheless.
Here is my take on a beef tartare.
Enjoy!
