Beef Tartare Burger Recipes

BEEF TARTARE BURGER

Steps:

• If grilling or broiling, heat should be medium-high and rack about 4 inches from fire. Put beef, shallot, garlic, capers and anchovy, if using, into a food processor and pulse until coarsely ground - finer than chopped, but not much. Put it into a bowl with parsley, Tabasco sauce and Worcestershire sauce, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Mix gently, then taste and adjust seasoning. Handling meat as lightly as possible to avoid compressing it, shape it into 4 or more burgers.
• To broil or grill, cook about 3 minutes on each side for rare and another minute per side for each increasing stage of doneness. For stovetop, heat a large skillet over medium heat for 2 or 3 minutes, then add patties; cook, undisturbed, for about 2 minutes, then rotate them so they brown evenly. Turn once and cook for a total of about 6 minutes for rare.
• Garnish with chopped medium-cooked egg, capers, whole anchovies, diced sweet white onion, chopped parsley and peeled lemon slices.

CHEESEBURGER TARTARE

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, combine the beef, shallots, and pickles, and mix well. Add the egg yolk, mustard, and season with salt, and pepper. After mixing, give the mixture a taste and adjust the seasonings, if needed. Stir in half the Asiago cheese. Keep the mixture chilled.
• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• Place the bread rounds on a large baking sheet. Brush the bread rounds with oil and season with salt, and pepper. Toast the bread in the oven for a few minutes, until light brown.
• Top each bread round with about 1 1/2 teaspoons beef mixture. Grate the cheese over the top and garnish with a sprig of mache.

ORIGINAL STEAK TARTARE

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, mix together the beef, mustard, hot pepper sauce, Worcestershire sauce, brandy, salt, pepper and egg until well blended. Arrange the meat in a neat pile on a glass dish, and cover with aluminum foil. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to blend. Serve as a spread on crackers or toast.

STEAK TARTARE

Steps:

• Put the beef on a plate and place in the freezer for 15 minutes (this will make dicing the beef easier).
• Whisk together the mustard and oil in a large bowl. Add the jalapeño, shallot, cornichons, and capers and mix to combine.
• Remove the meat from the freezer and cut into 1/4-inch dice. Put the steak in the bowl with the jalapeño mixture, add the green onions and parsley, and fold gently to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
• Divide the tartare among 4 large dinner plates, drizzle with some of the mustard sauce, and serve with 3 slices of the garlic toast. Serve immediately.
• Mustard Sauce
• Combine the egg yolk, anchovies, both mustards, and the vinegar in a blender and blend until smooth.
• With the motor running, slowly add the oil, drop by drop at first, and blend until emulsified. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 1 day before serving.
• Garlic Toast
• Preheat the broiler or heat a grill pan over high heat.
• Combine garlic and oil in a blender and blend for 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper. Pour the mixture into a bowl.
• Brush both sides of the bread with the garlic oil and broil or grill the bread until lightly golden brown on both sides, about 30 seconds per side. Cut each slice in half. The garlic toasts are best served warm, the day they are made.
