Jeremiah & Fabian's Striploin Tartare

Recipe | March 25 2022

This is a bit of a party. We use every New Yorker’s favourite cut and turn it into a hand cut tartare. We’re a New York restaurant and we love a New York strip. It has the least amount of interruption with sinew and connective tissue and is a beautiful piece of meat with a good amount of intramuscular fat and a lot of beefy flavour.

We have a smoky chilli oil, sesame seeds and shiso which has a nice, minty, clean flavour that cuts through the meat. It’s really fun chopping it all up and tossing it all together.

Jeremiah Stone and Fábian von Hauske are co-head chefs at Contra and Wildair in New York. 

Serves: 4
Time: 30 minutes, plus 1 day chilli steeping
