Polish Style Beef Tartar {Befsztyk Tatarski}
Polish style Beef tartar {befsztyk tatarski} is a popular party dish in Poland. Since beef is quite expensive here, it is considered quite the delicacy and it’s often served at upscale restaurants. Fresh, top quality beef is minced and served with pickled sides and a raw egg yolk. It is quite mild and delicious. I like mine heavily peppered, for an additional sharp accent.
My recipe below is simple and will take no time to prepare. Keep your dish extra cold and serve right away. It will make a great party conversation piece or an impressive appetizer.
