'The super tartare' - beef tartare with truffle caviar

Not yet rated

Marco Stabile lightly marinates beautiful beef fillet in pilsner lager for his tartare recipe, then serves with a spoonful of black truffle caviar, giving a wonderfully earthy finish to the dish. Stabile uses Fassone Piedmontese cows when cooking the dish in his restaurant, but if cooking at home use good-quality local beef of your choice.
