fyttes Posted November 20, 2005 Share Posted November 20, 2005 Does anyone know any good resaurants in Sheffield that serve Steak Tartare? It's about time I tried it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco_Cat Posted November 20, 2005 Share Posted November 20, 2005 I've never seen it. Why not buy a pack of mince and do it yourself, but be warned I had such bad food poisioning after having it once that I was ****ting blood for a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted November 20, 2005 Share Posted November 20, 2005 I think you will find it difficult to find in Sheffield. I don't know of any restaurants in the city that would trust themselves to make it or let their customers loose on it without understanding. Most people would probably think it was a nice steak with tartar sauce on the side and ask for it well done, Sheffield style with chips. Maybe Fischer's would do it as a special, but I can't see anyone having it on the regular menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though will be asking a butcher to mince some filet steak for me... How hard can it be? It's not like you can burn it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete_jim Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 Don't mince the fillet steak, chop it very finely with a good knife, it is the traditional method. Don't mince look where I ended up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco_Cat Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 Originally posted by pete_jim chop it very finely with a good knife, True. But really I think this dish is seriously overrated, invest your money in a decent plate of Carpaccio from Nonna's instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonJParr Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 I must agree - steak tartare is a dish that I do not hold much favour for. In my opinion it's not a 'timeless' French dish such as Duck Confit or Cassoulet. It's more of a throwback to the 1980's when baby corn [an appauling vegetable devoid of flavour, colour and texture] was seen as 'hip' and the height of sophistication was serving 2 or 3 uncooked vegetables on a white plate. Thankfully cooking these days is focusing more and more on food that one actually wants to eat. Carpaccio is far, far better than steak tartare and in September I had the good fortune of being able to taste it at Harry's Bar where it was invented in 1961. If you want to taste a meat that contains more flavour when raw I suggest you try thin slices of seared wild tuna - it's simply divine. Beef is not a meat that benefits from being eaten raw, rare most definitely, but not raw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgksheff Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 Anyone thinking of ordering this dish should watch the "THE RETURN OF MR. BEAN" first!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valentine Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 ok, i'll ask, what is Steak tartare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete_jim Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 Steak Tartare is raw finely chopped fillet of beef, usually served in a circle which I think you then break a raw egg into the middle of and mash it all up. Accompaniments are varied but include things like gherkins, capers, diced raw onions possibly hardboiled eggs sieved, but I may be getting mixed up with caviar. Eat raw! If you could shove it all on grill for 10 minutes I'd eat it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
