Spainified #1: Estik tartar 🥩💃
Hand-cut beef, a bright and flavorful seasoning, and a few tricks that make all the difference. This classic is already always great, but imagine merging it with the concept of a delicious gilda 😩
Recipe (2 servings):
- 350 g beef tenderloin (or rump/top sirloin cap for a more affordable option)
- 1 egg yolk
- 1/2 tbsp mustard
- 15 g capers
- 6 piparras, finely chopped
- 3 anchovy-stuffed olives
- 50 g of fresh red onion (or a shallot), finely chopped
- 4 or 5 splashes Worcestershire sauce
- 4 or 5 splashes Tabasco
- 1 tsp soy sauce
- A good splash of extra virgin olive oil (added at the end, not emulsified)
- Sea salt
Tips to nail it:
🔪 Don’t skip the knife work — hand-cutting gives the best texture. If needed, chill the meat in the freezer for 30 minutes to make cutting easier.
🥗 Mix all the ingredients in a cold bowl, except the olive oil.
✨ Add the olive oil at the end so the meat keeps its shine and flavor.
And by the way... it’s not “Estik Tartar” 😂
