Steak Recipe: Mother’s Day Appetizer

Want to walk on the wild side? This Mother’s Day appetizer recipe will do you right for Mother’s Day IF your mom is willing to try Steak Tartare.

Serve it as an appetizer, or heck, serve it as a meal. But just one tip, don’t “surprise” Mom with this without fair warning. You want her to speak to you again.

If she’s game, serve away! Happy Mother’s Day, moms!

Duo Filet Appetizers

(Serves 10)

Steak Tartare

2 6 oz. Filet Mignon

2 Fresh Egg yolks

4 Anchovy Filet, packed in oil

4 tsp. Capers

2 Tbsp. Dijon Mustard

3 Tbsp. Red Onion, finely minced

1 Tbsp. Parsley, chopped

Salt and Pepper

Finely chop the filet until evenly minced and set aside.  Combine the anchovy, capers and mustard and mix in a mortar and pestle or mash with the back of a fork until formed into a paste.  Mix in the onion, parsley and yolks and stir to combine.  Season the meat with salt and pepper and mix with the anchovy mixture.  Serve with toast or crackers.  (Note, consuming raw or undercooked foods may lead to food borne illness.)

Steak Countdown

I’m getting ready for Mother’s Day over here. Now starts the countdown.

Sunday, it’s go time.

Okay, so I’m a mom but I’ve invited my mom over for some steaks.

I love steak.

So does that mean I’m celebrating myself?

I don’t know.  It’s too deep.

I just know we’re having steak.

And I’m gonna rock the Teriyaki sauce.

Mother’s Day, you’re the best.

What’s YOUR Favorite Steak?

Our friends over at About.com are doing a poll asking readers, “What is your favorite steak?”

They have some choices for you — or you can add in your own.

Mine’s the ribeye. I love its texture and flavor.

Here’s what the poll looks like . . .

POLL: What is your favorite steak?
1) Filet Mignon
2) Flank Steak
3) Hanger Steak
4) New York Strip
5) Porterhouse
6) Rib Eye
7) T bone
8) Tenderloin
9) Tri-Tip Steak
10) Something Else (please specify in the comments)

It cracks me up that the 8 above turned into a smiley face. Subliminal message maybe? Perhaps SOMEONE wants the tenderloin to win.

Head on over to About.com and give them a piece of YOUR mind (just not a piece of your steak.)

You can’t let the other cuts win. Let your voice be heard, man!
