hmmm ! looks really complicated. i've made steak
tartare myself, using the :

1 bung some minced up beef, an egg, chopped onion,
capers, salt, pepper, oil, and anything else you fancy
in a bowl

2 mix thoroughly

3 serve

method, and it tasted pretty much like the tartares
i've had in even quite posh french restaurants ( well,
the restaurant at the centre beaubourg . . . )

btw, can a francophone tell me what this sauce
anglaise they speak of is. it's sounds a bit scary (
and is probably another false foreigner ! )
