The tartare
Minced meat and knife-cut tartare differ in many factors: cooking, characteristics, flavour.
Tartare is meat finely cut with a knife , mince is minced meat. Choosing one solution over the other means completely upsetting the dish and obtaining opposite results.
The tartare
Good and tasty, it releases its best when presented in combination with colorful vegetable crudités.
The valerian salad (also called songino), thanks to its intense colour, creates the perfect bed to accommodate the tartare which, moved by the color combination, manages to make the drops of extra virgin olive oil that accompany the dish shine.
Bringing tartare to the table requires imagination, especially in the choice of secondary ingredients.
The cuts of meat that are best suited to this type of preparation are: fillet, silverside, walnut rump and rump. If you use the cuts present in our Bovì Box we recommend using fillet, steaks and ribs. What they have in common is the presence of tender meat with little fat.
In many recipes we tend to add lemon, a few drops - preferably organic - and the flavor changes. This is why to amplify the taste of the tartare it is preferable to choose a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil or, to dare without overdoing it, a few flakes of Maldon salt which helps to give elegance to the dish.
Tartare mince
The best chefs - but also non-professional connoisseurs - begin to turn up their noses when they notice the combination between tartare and mince.
Let's dispel a myth and affirm with conscious certainty that tartare and minced meat are two different things : the first is - and must be - beaten with a knife , minced meat is a distant relative.
The differences range from the presentation and plating to the less defined and coarser flavor.
The mince is perfect for meatballs, condiments rich in ancient flavors such as tomato puree manage to welcome this preparation with the honors it deserves. The hamburger is another element that guarantees the right respect for minced meat.
In any case the mince must be cooked . It is at that moment that it absorbs the secondary ingredients and transforms into a delicious and tasty dish.
