Mexican Steak Tartare

Mexican Steak Tartare

The Mexican version of Steak Tartare has almost the same ingredients as the pico de gallo salsa, which are onion, tomato, and lime juice. For this reason, this dish is sometimes called Carne a la Pico de Gallo, although Carne Tártara, Carne Apache, and Ceviche de Carne are more popular names for it. Of course, we love to change things and make them our own, and so the ingredients for carne tártara vary from region to region.

Mexican Steak Tartare Recipe - Carne Tartara

Some optional items include capers, olive oil, cucumbers, and radishes. So, here you have a basic recipe for Carne tártara that you can enjoy and change to your liking! My personal version includes Kikkoman soy sauce, because it is a flavor enhancer and a very versatile ingredient that can be used in many different cuisines (and Mexican food is not an exception)!
This appetizer is all the rage with men, it is meat after all! In Mexico, men enjoy preparing carne tártara and having it with cold beers, while watching a soccer game with friends or just having a good time with the family.

Tried this recipe?Let us know how it was!

I’m so happy to be able to partner again with Kikkoman and bring you this recipe (from my husband’s family!) using their soy sauce. This sauce is very versatile for adding flavor to your recipes, and you can also use it as a traditional browning sauce. Kikkoman soy sauce is traditionally brewed and, like a fine wine, is aged for several months to develop its characteristic rich, yet mellow flavor, appetizing aroma, and distinctive reddish-brown color. So, what are you waiting for? Let’s get cooking!  #KikkomanSabor

¡Buen provecho!
