Ingredients
Method
Remove and discard any outside surface from the Scotch Beef before mincing.
Finely mince with a sharp knife and remove any sinew or fatty pieces.
In a bowl combine beef, shallots, anchovy, capers and cornichon then mix thoroughly, best by hand, with all the other ingredients adjusting seasoning to taste.
To serve:
Divide in half, to make two, press gently into a ring mould on a plate or piece of slate.
Make a slight indentation in the centre of each of the tartar patties into which pop an egg yolk.
I like to sprinkle mine with dried chilli flakes or powder.
Serve with Melba toast and skinny fries.
