Steak tartare recipes are a great way to learn how to eat raw meat. Just be sure that it's 100% grass fed raw meat!
Steak tartare recipes usually combine minced raw meat with capers, gherkins, shallots, mustard, olive oil, and a raw egg yolk.
However, these ingredients can all be optional.
Tartare is a dish that you usually find at French restaurants. And tartare can be made with many tender cuts of grass fed meats.
And although this dish is heavily associated with French cuisine, it may
have actually come from a nomadic Asian tribe.

Learning how to properly prepare a steak tartare recipe will involve

Once you get that part down,
the rest is relatively easy.
