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 ! ) bn ===== bnathyuw | landan | arR stamp the sunshine out | angelfish your tears came like anaesthesia | phèdre __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
