Carne Cruda Appetizer - Italian Steak Tartare
Report
Carne Cruda is a delicious and decadent restaurant quality Italian beef appetizer. Like Steak Tartare this dish revolves around raw beef. Here the finely chopped beef is lightly 'cooked' with lemon juice. Then it is dressed with herbs and extra virgin olive oil and served with crisp ciabatta slices. It makes a small amount of expensive beef go a long way and can be served as part of a charcuterie board or as an appetizer.
