Steak tartare is a classic French dish made with raw, finely chopped beef or horse meat that is typically seasoned with ingredients such as capers, Dijon mustard, shallots, Worcestershire sauce, and fresh herbs. The meat is typically served with a raw egg yolk on top, which is mixed into the meat before eating to add richness and creaminess.
