This recipe isn’t just food; it’s an edible ode to indulgence. Whether you're serving it as the centerpiece of a glamorous dinner party or treating yourself to a moment of opulence, this tartare promises to impress.

Steak tartare has been celebrated for centuries as a testament to the beauty of simplicity. The raw, finely chopped beef acts as a canvas, allowing the bold flavors of its accompaniments to shine. Enter Opus Imperial Ossetra Caviar—a jewel of the culinary world that transforms this timeless dish into something extraordinary. With its velvety pearls and oceanic whispers, this caviar elevates the tartare to new heights, bridging the land’s rich umami with the sea’s delicate salinity.

The key to this pairing lies in contrast and balance. The beef provides a silky, robust base, while the sturgeon caviar brings a burst of complexity with its briny, nutty notes. Together, they create a symphony of textures and flavors, with the caviar’s buttery finish lingering like the final chord of a masterpiece.

• 200g (7 oz) high-quality beef tenderloin, finely diced
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tbsp capers, finely chopped
• 1 tbsp shallots, finely chopped
• 1 tbsp parsley, finely chopped
• 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• 1 egg yolk (optional for garnish)
• A generous dollop of Opus Imperial Ossetra Caviar

Step 1: Prepare the Beef

Select the freshest, highest-quality tenderloin you can find. Dice it finely with a sharp knife—precision here is key. You’re crafting the foundation of a dish that relies on texture as much as flavor. Chill the beef to ensure it’s easy to handle and remains safe to serve raw.

Step 2: Mix the Ingredients

In a mixing bowl, combine the beef with Dijon mustard, capers, shallots, parsley, Worcestershire sauce, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Gently mix the ingredients, ensuring the flavors are evenly distributed without bruising the delicate beef.

Step 3: Shape the Tartare

To plate the tartare, use a ring mold for a clean, restaurant-style presentation. Pack the beef mixture into the mold and press gently to create a compact, even shape.

Step 4: Crown It with Caviar

Now comes the pièce de résistance: Opus Imperial Ossetra Caviar. Remove the mold, create a small well in the center of the tartare, and add a luxurious dollop of caviar. Its briny pearls glisten like black diamonds, promising a burst of flavor with every bite.

Step 5: Garnish and Serve

For an added touch, place a raw egg yolk in the center or garnish with edible herbs like microgreens. Serve alongside toasted baguette slices, crackers, or even blinis for caviar for an unforgettable accompaniment.

As you take your first bite, notice how the flavors meld together. The richness of the beef contrasts with the delicate saltiness of the caviar, creating a flavor profile that is both bold and refined. It’s a dish that doesn’t just feed the body but delights the senses and nourishes the soul.

When it comes to caviar, quality is non-negotiable. Opus Imperial Ossetra Caviar stands out not only for its buttery texture and nutty undertones but also for its sustainable sourcing. It’s the perfect partner for this dish, offering a balance of flavor that complements rather than overwhelms the steak tartare. For those who appreciate luxury with a conscience, this caviar is the ideal choice.

Whether you’re hosting a dinner party or looking to impress a date, this recipe is a showstopper. Pair it with a crisp Champagne or a dry white wine to amplify the experience. For an indulgent evening, consider serving it as part of a caviar sampler, alongside a selection of beluga caviar, white sturgeon caviar, and other fine caviars & roes.
