Is Steak Tartar safe to eat?
When prepared properly and handled safely, steak tartare is safe to eat. There is always a risk of foodborne illness when eating raw meat (or any food, really). But you can do your best to avoid them with these practices:
When making Steak Tartare, always use high-quality beef.
Let your butcher know you will be eating the steak raw, and he will make sure it is lean and fresh.
Keep the meat refrigerated at all times (except when assembling and serving).
Use gloves when handling the raw steak.
Ingredients That You’ll Need:
Lean steak – You should start with a very lean steak, like sirloin, beef tenderloin, or top round. Ask your butcher for a fresh steak and tell him you’ll be eating it raw.
Capers – They add a nice acidity to balance out the flavors.
Cornichons – Don’t use sweet pickles. You can use small dill pickles instead.
Shallots – Adding a hint of savory flavor to each bite.
Worcestershire sauce – A classic choice in beef tartare recipes, its umami flavor plays well with the acidity.
Parsley – Fresh is best!
Egg yolks – Make sure you use fresh eggs and keep them refrigerated until ready to serve. You can serve them on top of the beef tartare or mix them in with the meat.
Can I Make Steak Tartare With Meat From The Grocery Store?
