This twist on the classic steak tartare is served with fries and is super delicious - everyone should treat themselves and try this recipe! The raw, soft and creamy beef is perfectly balanced by the sharp and pungent flavors from capers, mustard and onions, while the truffle matchsticks and Bloody Mary gel take it to another level.
