Steak tartare remains a classic dish that many enjoy at restaurants but seldom attempt at home due to concerns about raw meat and food safety. A trained chef and food safety instructor assures readers that steak tartare is safe for most individuals if made correctly. The article focuses on enhancing the dish's flavor with infused oils, suggesting that these gourmet ingredients can elevate the dining experience. The importance of using high-quality beef and maintaining strict cleanliness is emphasized as crucial elements in the preparation of steak tartare.
Infused oils are a versatile way to add flavor to any dish, and steak tartare is a prime candidate. Many recipes already call for adding a splash of oil to the beef.
As both a trained chef and a former food safety instructor, I can tell you firmly that steak tartare is indeed safe to eat raw for most people, if - and it's a big if - it's prepared correctly.
That may partly be because raw meat feels like a risky choice, something that's best left to professionals. There's also the whole "ick factor" of handling raw meat.
I will add that you should get the best beef you can, and should pay scrupulous attention to cleanliness (take a look at the USDA's guidance on cleanliness and food safety).
