Ingredients
- 1 ea. 8oz. JHBMCo. Elk Sirloin (partially frozen)
1 tsp. crunchy sea salt
1/2 tsp. fresh cracked black pepper
1 Tbsp. good extra virgin olive oil
2 Tbsp. minced sweet onion (Walla Walla, Sweet Maui, Vidalia)
1 Serrano chili, lightly charred and minced
2 cloves garlic, lightly charred and minced
2 tsp. capers, drained
1 tsp. whole grain mustard
1/2 tsp Tabasco
1/2 tsp. Worcestershire
juice of 1/2 lemon
- 1 each farm fresh egg yolk
2 Tbsp. fresh chive, minced
8 slices crusty, toasted bread
To Finish:
Directions
Begin by partially thawing the elk sirloin. Keeping the elk steak, partially frozen will make it much easier to thinly slice and dice and it will also be just thawed (but still cold) when ready to season with the remaining ingredients.
- Chill a small, nonreactive bowl (metal or glass works best) in the freezer until ready to mix.
- Slice the steak lengthwise into very thin 1/8-1/4” strips, then into 1/8-1/4” dice.
- Transfer the diced elk sirloin to the pre-chilled bowl, then simply add the reaming ingredients and gently mix until all the ingredients are well incorporated.
- Toast your crusty bread and cut into bite size pieces.
- Transfer the seasoned elk sirloin tartare to a plate, finish with the minced chive, raw elk yolk a sprinkle of crunchy sea salt and the toasted bread on the side!
- Enjoy!
