Steak tartare is nothing more than beef tenderloin, minced, spiced, and served with a variety of vegetables or some crusty sourdough bread (or with forks, like at my house). Nutritionally speaking, you really can’t go wrong with a lovely piece of tenderloin from a grass-fed and pasture-raised cow. In fact, by cooking beef, a percentage of B vitamins are destroyed, some by as much as 50%. That being said, the real reason that you should try steak tartare is because it is delicious.
