At La Rompiente fine dining restaurant Torrox we have introduced steak tartare (or ¨steak tartaar¨) as a starter. Another dish with a touch of French cuisine. But is steak tartare really a dish from the French cuisine?

This famous dish was most probably invented by an Italian chef when there were so many people in his restaurant that he did not have any cooking pan left in order to prepare meat. First he invented a dish with very thin slices of beef, now known as carpaccio. Then he made minced beef from the meat that was left over and added some spices to it he thought would match. This dish now known as steak tartare started becoming famous internationally. The Germans named it ¨German Beef¨, the French ¨Haché Bleu¨.

The French, however, started changing the dish adding mustard and pickles. When this new version of steak tartare reached the United States of America, the Americans started eating it with tobasco. The English, however, were responsible for its current flavour adding their famous Worchester-sauce to the steak tartare. Try our steak tartare at La Rompiente fine dining restaurant Torrox, famous for its innovative Mediterranean specialities with a touch of French cuisine.
