Cured Steak Tartare
A different take on a French classic, this Cured Steak Tartare is a very powerful dish that works both as an appetizer or a main dish! It pairs nicely with salads and roasted veggies, or with cocktails such as whiskey sour and margarita. You can use a regular pickled cucumber instead of the pickled bur cucumber, which is common in Brazil. If you prefer to make your own, find a recipe here on CREME! Additionally, ensure you use high-quality lime mayonnaise, or check out a recipe on CREME for that as well.
