Beef Tartare Burger Recipes

Steps:

• If grilling or broiling, heat should be medium-high and rack about 4 inches from fire. Put beef, shallot, garlic, capers and anchovy, if using, into a food processor and pulse until coarsely ground - finer than chopped, but not much. Put it into a bowl with parsley, Tabasco sauce and Worcestershire sauce, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Mix gently, then taste and adjust seasoning. Handling meat as lightly as possible to avoid compressing it, shape it into 4 or more burgers.
• To broil or grill, cook about 3 minutes on each side for rare and another minute per side for each increasing stage of doneness. For stovetop, heat a large skillet over medium heat for 2 or 3 minutes, then add patties; cook, undisturbed, for about 2 minutes, then rotate them so they brown evenly. Turn once and cook for a total of about 6 minutes for rare.
• Garnish with chopped medium-cooked egg, capers, whole anchovies, diced sweet white onion, chopped parsley and peeled lemon slices.

Steps:

• Cut the steak into 1-inch cubes and park in the freezer for 10 minutes.
• Whisk the vinegar, dry mustard and egg yolks together in a small bowl. Whisk continuously while streaming in the oil until emulsified, then whisk in the shallots, capers, salt, and roughly 2/3 of the celery leaves and parsley.
• Hand chop the meat to your desired texture. (Alternately, divide the meat into 4 batches and pulse each batch separately 3 to 4 times in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the standard S-blade.)
• With clean hands, quickly fold the meat and dressing together. Plate using a 3 3/4-inch pastry ring and garnish with the reserved herbs and lemon zest.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, mix together the beef, mustard, hot pepper sauce, Worcestershire sauce, brandy, salt, pepper and egg until well blended. Arrange the meat in a neat pile on a glass dish, and cover with aluminum foil. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to blend. Serve as a spread on crackers or toast.

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, combine the beef, shallots, and pickles, and mix well. Add the egg yolk, mustard, and season with salt, and pepper. After mixing, give the mixture a taste and adjust the seasonings, if needed. Stir in half the Asiago cheese. Keep the mixture chilled.
• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• Place the bread rounds on a large baking sheet. Brush the bread rounds with oil and season with salt, and pepper. Toast the bread in the oven for a few minutes, until light brown.
• Top each bread round with about 1 1/2 teaspoons beef mixture. Grate the cheese over the top and garnish with a sprig of mache.

Steps:

• Combine all the ingredients except the olive oil in a large bowl.
• Use your hands, and make sure everything is mixed well and distributed evenly.
• Form the mixture into 2 large, thick round patties.
• Heat the oil in a large non-stick fry pan and cook the burgers on one side for 5 minutes, until dark and crusty.
• Turn and cook for 1-2 minutes more or until cooked to your liking.
• Serve on grilled Turkish bread with oven roasted tomatoes, and a rocket salad, or how ever you wish.
• You can serve this mixture raw if you really want to!

Steps:

• Lightly oil the inside of a 5-cup ring mold.
• Drain oil off anchovy fillets; separate and drain each on paper towels.
• Chop 4 of the fillets very finely and leave remaining whole; set aside.
• Chop onion very finely—you should have 1/2 cup.
• Put chopped anchovy, chopped onion, ground beef, capers, egg yolks, salt, pepper, and parsley in a large bowl.
• Using a wooden spoon, toss and mix until very well combined.
• Taste, and if necessary, add more seasonings.
• Mixture should be highly seasoned.
• Spoon meat mixture into the prepared ring mold, pressing down firmly with the back of a wooden spoon to pack tightly and remove all air holes.
• Cover meat-filled mold tightly with plastic wrap and chill for 2 to 3 hours or until ready to serve.
• To unmold: Uncover ring mold.
• Using a small knife, loosen meat mixture from edges of mold.
• Place a serving dish upside down on top of mold; invert mold and serving dish.
• Shake firmly to release meat mixture; remove mold.
• To garnish and serve: Arrange anchovies on top of meat mixture in a crisscross fashion and garnish with red pepper cubes.
• Drain olives; mound in center of ring mold.
• Arrange watercress around edge of meat.
• Be sure to keep the Steak Tartare refrigerated until ready to serve.
• It is especially good served on unsalted saltine crackers, English water biscuits, or small rounds of rye bread.
