Serving Ideas for Amazing Steak Tartare:

Toasted baguette slices or crusty bread

Grating over steak tartare can add an extra layer of flavour and complexity to the dish. Here are a few excellent options:

Parmesan Cheese: A light grating of high-quality Parmesan cheese can provide a subtle nutty and salty note that complements the beef.
Truffle: Fresh truffle shavings add an earthy and luxurious touch, elevating the overall experience.
Horseradish: Freshly grated horseradish adds a sharp, peppery kick that can balance the richness of the raw beef and egg yolk.
Lemon Zest: A bit of lemon zest can introduce a bright, citrusy element that cuts through the richness and adds freshness to the dish.

These additions should be used sparingly to enhance, rather than overpower, the delicate flavours of the steak tartare.
