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.

Which is why I'm including an Asian version of this raw meat dish - to honor my Korean Ancestors.

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

You can use any type of tender grass fed meat to make a steak tartare. 

However, don't limit yourself to just grass fed beef - try grass fed lamb or grass fed bison.

Even though bison differs in taste from other grass fed meats, it can be a nice change for those that prefer a more "wild" red meat.

1. Mix ingredients and then plate the bison tartare in a chilled Martini glass - topped with micro greens.
