- 2 tablespoons pickled red onion

Notes
- For best results, use very high-quality, extremely fresh sirloin. Ensure the beef is ice cold before chopping.
- If fresh lovage is unavailable, substitute with 1 teaspoon of celery seed and a pinch of anise seed for a similar savory note.
- To prevent the tartare from becoming watery, gently press the mixture after mixing to remove excess moisture before serving.
