A few of you asked me what´s the best cut of meat to use. I went to the local butcher and told him I wanted to prepare a steak tartare. He recommended I used round steak or flank steak and that it would be best if I could give him about 30 minutes so he would put the meat in the freezer before grinding it. I decided to go with the flank steak and picked it up about an hour later. One thing I would ask him to do different next time is to use a wider grinder, as I think the tartar would be better with bigger chunks of meat - and not as much as a paste. You can also take the steak home, put it in the freezer for 30 minutes, and cut it yourself in little cubes.
1. Add the meat to a mixing bowl and set over a bowl with ice to keep meat very cool while preparing it.
Here´s what you´ll need:
MATERIALS
• Stainless steel ring (to give it the round vertical shape)
