Meat Tartare

Description

The recipe won't take much time. Here goes—it can be served warm or chilled.

Instructions

1. 1

   Step 1

   Peel the pear and remove the seeds. Cut it into matchsticks. Place the fruit in a small bowl of cold water with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice so it doesn't dry out. Let it "rest" for 5-10 minutes, then drain the water.

   Step 2

   In a medium-sized bowl, place the beef, the remaining lemon juice, onion, pine nuts (half of the total), sesame oil, shallot, lemon zest, salt and pepper to taste. Gently fold half of the pear into the tartare.

   Step 3

   Arrange the tartare in the center of the plate. If desired, make a small well in each beef salad and place an egg yolk there. Top with the remaining pear, green onion, pine nuts, and chili threads. Serve immediately, garnished with lotus root chips.
