| According to legend, invading barbarians such as the Huns, Tartars and other Attilas who marched upon the East of France several thousand years ago, ate pieces of raw meat that they had tenderized by leaving them for a few hours under the horse's saddle. From this legend comes the name "Tartare Steak" given to any ground raw meat dish. The following version is lighter than the traditional recipe, which blends the mixture with an egg yolk. |

DIRECTIONS
Mix the 2 mustards in a large bowl. Add the lemon juice, cream, oil, Cognac, cumin, cayenne, salt and pepper. Mix well, and then add the parsley, basil and chives. Add the ground beef and mix thoroughly with two forks, aerating the mixture rather than squashing it or turning it.
|
TO SERVE: Mound the tartare onto serving dishes and serve immediately, with various salads and toasted bread, or with Potato Cakes.
|
NOTE: The basil may be replaced by tarragon, chervil, dill or fresh coriander (cilantro).
