People say Steak Tartar isn’t for everyone but Ludwig heartily disagrees. It is one of those appetizers that can turn into a main course because you just cannot stop eating it.
Nurses and other medical personnel might not approve, but I’ve served this for decades without incident. Always tell the butcher what you are preparing and that they should use a clean knife and grinding blade. Serve with cocktail rye bread, crackers, and / or Scandinavian flatbread.
Fry any leftovers for tremendous breakfast sliders.
Ludwig used this to see who the real consultants were.
