Classic French Bistro Beef Tartare

Beef tartare is a French bistro classic, loved for its bold, simple flavors. What’s the secret to an excellent beef tartar? Use fresh, organic beef and eggs if possible. And hand-chop the beef for a tender, melt-in-your-mouth texture. Serve with crispy pommes frites (French fries), a zesty green salad, and toasted baguette or sourdough crostini. Pair with a light and fruity Pinot Noir or a dry rosé. Bon appétit!
