A correctly prepared tartare is safe and delicious. It is one of the best ways to taste the meat, as there is no cooking process to change the flavor. If you get a chance, considering its price, try it!
If you’re curious about it but can’t quite handle the squickiness of true tartare (me, ugh the fucking texture of raw egg yolk is something I just cannot get past) a blue/bleu steak is very close flavor wise and a lot more palatable for many people.
In things it’s fine, but as the centerpiece / defining texture I just dont like it. Never heard of egg in beer specifically though, that does sound interesting.
I’ve had tartare a couple times (and without the egg it’s delicious), and the egg is still one of the defining textures; it’s not mixed with anything that makes it not slimy. It just coats the meat, and if that’s your thing that’s great! It’s just not mine.
I understood what you meant, and I’ve had it prepared both ways - the egg still defines the texture, even when incorporated with the meat prior to eating. Without the egg I find it delicious (though I vastly prefer blue or raw whole steak), but I’ve never seen it offered that way without a special request. You live in a lucky region, I guess!
Is it the texture of finely cut uncooked meat, because any texture like that and I immediately become nauseous.
It’s very psychosomatic for me. Happens with chicken too if it’s a woody piece. I can temp it to know it’s cooked, I can look at it and see it’s cooked but as soon as I feel that abnormal texture I’m out.
I can guarantee you that, for me, the contrasting texture would only make the meat texture stand out more. That’s why it’s psychosomatic; it’s a physical response to a mental sensation.

I still think I’ll pass.

You’ve never had a raw egg in a beer as a little nutritional hair of dog?

It’s the breakfast of drunks everywhere.
Here, it would be mixed with the meat, a bit as when added on top of pastas.

here usually, the egg is optional… if ordered, it is usually mixed with the meat before eating.

I’ve always wanted to try a steak Pittsburgh rare.
Never heard that term before, one search later, and that sounds delicious!
Too squishy and slick.
I think the middle can vary in doneness, the importance is the gradient between very well done on the outside to rarer in the middle.
More for us!
I couldn’t eat it either but it has nothing to do with safety or taste. The texture is what I’d have a problem with.
It’s a shockingly good texture. Way better than it sounds.

That’s where the combination comes in. The texture contrast trait with little toast points makes it entirely different

Yeah, I suppose everyone is different. I do have some texture issues where sometimes the contrast makes all the difference
“it’s not the taste, it’s the consistency”
Honestly this description makes me less likely to try it.
More for the rest of you I guess!
