Sunday late lunch...

A trip to Moen and Son on Saturday resulted in the perfect beef to prepare Steak Tartare on a late Sunday afternoon. I hand cut the meat to small pieces just before it resembles mincemeat whilst an egg is on the boil. Taking my time and enjoying the change in texture, first thin slices then strips and finally dice.
Worcestershire sauce, Dijon, mayonnaise, a drop of ketchup and a dash of Tabasco into the mix. On a platter finely diced shallot, cornichons, capers, parsley and hard-boiled egg laid out in perfect mounds. Cognac and cyan pepper are the last to the table. The egg yolk looks luminous atop the dark rich colour of the meat, this is the moment everyone around the table goes very quiet, after a short pause, spontaneous exchanges of preference and before you know it, it is all over.
Silence for a minute. I love that about eating raw food, a sense of immediacy, seizing the moment, fighting oxidisation and decay. A pinch of guilt but replete…
