With a background in French fine dining, I was inspired to craft my own rendition of steak tartare, preserving traditional elements such as pickled mustard seeds and shallots. This version features warm roasted bone marrow served in the bone, topped with finely diced Australian grassfed strip steak and accompanied by nori sheets for assembling hand rolls—a modern, interactive twist on the classic dish. Having worked as a chef in Australia in my early twenties, I experienced firsthand the country’s dedication to high-quality beef production, reinforcing my confidence in using Australian beef.
