Old Aug 8th, 2010, 11:50 PM        steak tartare




been interested in making this for my lowfat/lowcarb diet days, and read up on some of the risks involved. most of the recipes seem to assume that you're buying a steak from a local butcher and then grinding it up yourself, as well as buying the egg from "a reputable source", whatever the fuck that means. according to the internets, making steak tartare under those conditions is safer than touching a public doorknob in terms of bacteria exposure.

what are the odds i'd die from making this with 96/4 ground beef and eggs i buy at wal-mart?

kitsa i am looking at you

Wal-mart steak?

Just spend an extra buck and get something better. I used to buy this beef (I believe Kroger sells it back on the East coast along with some other chains) called Laura's Lean Beef. All natural, hormone free beef. Delicious stuff. Used to make burgers, tacos, 'n everything with it. Well worth the extra buck or so that it costs. http://www.laurasleanbeef.com

I wouldn't do it with ground beef.

The problem with ground beef is that the friction of the grinding raises temps and introduces a lot of oxygen, or so I've read, and that ups the bacteria. You don't run into that with steak because the temperature and exposure to oxygen are consistent before use.

You don't want e.coli, trust me. I had bad stuff coming out of both ends, often at the same time, for days.

I'd grind or chop it myself...what I'm saying is that I wouldn't use supermarket ground beef (ESPECIALLY walmart, because you know they don't give a shit).

I had some (made with hamburger) served to me on a toasted bagel at a party. It could be because I'm more or less vegetarian, but I gagged. Couldn't take it, especially from an unknown source.

You're right on the exposure to oxygen and the increased temperature. The biggest issue, in my opinion, is that even though you get a "Best By:" date on the package, you never really know WHEN the meat was actually ground. Nor do you know how long the meat was at ambient (or higher?) temperatures prior to, during and after grinding, or at anytime thereafter (Say it takes you a little longer than normal to get back home after shopping ...).

We just took a food safety training class at work, and it scared me shitless about eating raw ANYTHING.

lemme ask you this...why is it essential that it be ground? I'd also ask why it's essential that it be raw, but I have a feeling you've shored up evidence about proteins and amino acids and polypeptides and all of that, so I'll leave that be. Why can you not slide chunks of albumin-slicked steak down your gullet?

well like i said, i don't have the tools to cube or otherwise finely chop the meat

the recipe calls for it to be raw and finely ground, cooking it would sorta defeat the purpose of making steak tartare

I don't trust irradiated anything, and I'm an irradiated person.

Case in point: radiation is supposed to sterilize. I've given birth three times, thanks, and I've also grown fruit from "irradiated" seeds.

It might wipe the slate during the process (it kills rapidly growing cells...that's why it's used for cancer) but anything can happen between then and when it hits your plate. In my opinion.

I'm almost positive I remember seeing a food processor in his kitchen, but I also think using that unsanitary piece of equipment might be worse than licking your e.coli straight off the counter.

The guts of your standard food processors are usually dishwasher-safe.

That is, if you have a dishwasher. If not, then you're right - he may be better off grinding up the raw meat with his teeth.

Masticate away.

If you don't have the means to go to a good butcher and buy a good steak and get it chopped up, steak tartare probably isn't a viable menu option.

If you're just all about the undercooked meat thing and aren't dead set on a particular recipe, buy the cheapest steak you can find from wal-mart or wherever, cut it into bite-sized pieces (or don't) and briefly sear each outside surface. Voila, beef sashimi, likely to be more or less safe.
