STEAK TARTARE

If you have a sweetie and your sweetie eats meat, try making them a plate of steak tartare on your next evening in. While this dish is often considered posh, it actually has humble roots in neighbourhood eateries and bistros. So if you’re on a budget, go for the eye of round over the tenderloin, and use the extra money for a bottle of wine.

Whether you opt for the plated or mixed style of steak tartare, it is really a meal that is best when you embrace the “choose your own adventure” nature of the dish. Include the ingredients listed that you like, and disregard the rest. And always make sure you taste what you are serving, especially if it’s for your sweetie. (The bread in these photos is from Landed Bakehouse, and the beef is from Can Do Farm—where you can try to love your locals.)
