Description

A Polish twist on a classic! This raw beef dish is seasoned with pickled red onion, lovage, and pumpkin seeds for a unique flavor.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 200g (7 oz) beef sirloin, very fresh, hand-chopped
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds, toasted
  • 2 tablespoons pickled red onion
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lovage, finely chopped
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 teaspoon French mustard (Dijon)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Separate the egg whites and yolks. Refrigerate or freeze the egg whites for later use.
  2. Put the egg yolks in a bowl.
  3. Finely chop the red onion and fresh lovage, and add them to the bowl.
  4. Add the mustard and olive oil. Mix well.
  5. Chop the beef into small pieces and add it to the bowl with the other ingredients.
  6. Season with salt, pepper, and pumpkin seeds.
  7. Form the mixture into flattened mounds.
  8. Place one mound onto each serving plate.
  9. Serve immediately.

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.
