Ingredients

Serves 4

• 2¼ lb (1 kg) ground beef steak
• 4 finely chopped shallots
• 4 egg yolks
• 3 tbsp mustard (preferably Ghent mustard)
• 2 tbsp chopped flat-leaf parsley
• 2 tbsp chopped chives
• 1 tbsp Worcester sauce
• 2 tbsp capers
• ¼ cup (25 cl) peanut oil
• Salt and pepper

Preparation

• Put the mustard, Worcester sauce and egg yolks into a bowl
• Whisk together while slowly adding the oil. You need to drizzle in the oil very slowly while stirring constantly, as if you were making a mayonnaise
• Add the ground meat, shallots, parsley, chives and capers
• Add salt and pepper to taste
• Mix together well and serve

Suggestion

Like any self-respecting Belgian, the only possible accompaniments to your steak tartare are French fries and a beer.
As for the capers, I recommend that you use very small ones, as they are easier to mix in.

A few drops of Tabasco sauce will add some heat to this dish.
