Yeah, I think the aversion to tartar is mostly an American thing. I had some at a very nice restaurant where I live. I'd never had tartar before and of course it looked suspicious, but after giving it the old, "I'll try anything once" treatment, I absolutely loved it. Definitely recommend making sure you order it from a high quality place, though, if you're really concerned about food prep safety. It's worth a try. Most places aren't going to put stuff on a menu that's unsafe to eat even 1% of the time. Save for maybe your local Golden Coral. I'm convinced that place is Russian Roulette, the restaurant. Lol. At least the ones around me are.
Yeah we Americans realize we invented fire thousands of years ago for a good reason.if I want this I'll just go shoot a cow crack an egg over it and dig in like a cave man, and then proceed to sell the left overs to the town at rediculously high prices.
@@cristianobrogna1225 So…you eat food that doesn’t come from markets? Extremely typical nonsense European comment form someone who thinks Hollywood is real life
The variation of steak tartare in this video was literally invented in the US in the 19th century. In Europe at the time it was referred to as “steak à l'Americaine”.
It's not sushi because it does not include rice. Would not consider it sashimi either because it is sliced and chopped. Sashimi comes from sashi which is pierce (or slice, if one digs some more history). More like, uncooked burger patty.
@@cgthebean4963 it's still closer to sashimi than sushi isnce sashimi is meat (seafood maybe fish) eaten raw and sliced, it is usually called sushi only if you add rice to it
Never make your own steak tartare from store bought Ground/Mince beef. Shitloads of bacteria. Chefs all chop their own mince from a slab of meat. The inside is clean
Lol for reals. Like, next time you're at a restaurant and they ask you how you'd like your steak tell them you'd like it just pulled out of the fridge.
Do not forget medium. The perfect way to cook a steak. has plenty of juice and most importantly its warm when off the grill. Not still cold and jelly like with rare or raw steaks. Well done is stupid its leather so microwave beef jerky for 10 minutes and naw on that.
Actually, you guys have it all wrong. The chef is more than correct, unsurprisingly. Every year, spinach and lettuce are recalled, and there are hundreds of cases of foodborne illness from them. This is because the fields are full of feces. "Leafy greens such as lettuce and spinach are the leading sources of food poisoning" -The Center for Disease Control (CDC)
@@electricityisgreat2767 I watched lots of videos where people spent lots of money on vegan food. especially vegan burgers they are actually expensive. it's like thrice the price cause they spend lots of time making them and if you had to read whats in a vegan burger you wouldn't want to put it in your mouth
@@michaeljordan7412 You can buy a whole sheep for 250$. Most of celebrities buy expensive and good quality of steaks so spending that much money on meat can't be a bad idea.
@@chaosblitz7921 Honestly I can see him doing it at least once just to joke about it, perhaps on one of his personal videos or one of the kid-focused shows.
Eating raw beef is safe only because the bacteria is on the skin. Do NOT eat raw chicken as the bacteria is spread throughout the whole chicken, not just the skin.
For the longest time, i always believed he was jusy eating corned beef, not raw meet. I always wondered why he seemed so disgusted lol.. now it makes sense! Me and my uncultured elementary days lol
What would be easier to get, freshly gotten beef which is graded and checked for anything dangerous which is required in order to eat raw, or just some shipped beef from a slaughter house.
There are lots of brainwashed sheep here lmfao they usually eat plants and spaghetti like the peasants they are. Raw beef is essential. If you think it's bad for you then you're just brainwashed. "Oh no it has bacteria" bacteria is good for you it's actually your friend.
Why is everyone so cynical these days. Beef tartare tastes pretty nice and it’s fairly popular in Europe. It’s not a recent invention and people have been enjoying it for decades. Unless you’ve tried it for yourself you won’t know for sure that you won’t like it. Unless you don’t like meat.
@@thomaszhang2002 never said anything about when beef tartare was invented or it's actual taste. Just pointed out the fact this guy decided to show off how much Worcestershire sauce he can put on one spoonful.
TheGamingCeljan but it says “EXTRA salmonella” which implies that he meant that the beef also has salmonella which it does but not like chicken and eggs
I've gotten food poisoning from cafeterias and fast food a few times in my life (ie. places where everything is overcooked). I never got food poisoning from raw fish/beef/pork/egg and I eat them regularly. If you're brave enough to eat KFC you're brave enough to eat raw meat.

Herbivores including deer and horse have been documented eating such meat after a kill (their kill) and no change in food supply or habitat (etc) is the cause.
+Meganlodon Bradicus Not likely, most herbivores digestive systems can't handle meat very well. +Snorty McGout I wouldn't say "humans" are "rediscovering", I'd say Americans are figuring out that safe meats aren't unsafe.
@@Person01234 Humans cannot digest plants very well, and yet we do so as omnivores. Also, your American comment is incorrect. Not all of us are that ignorant.
Nonsense. We are omnivores and our digestive systems are perfectly capable of handling much plant matter. They're not specifically designed for it, so they may not be as good as many herbivores, but we can very well obtain nutrients from plant matter. I will admit I actually misread your comment and didn't see that you specified Deer and Horses, I would have to look to confirm but I still strongly doubt they "made a kill" and started ripping hunks of flesh off something, they likely just ate small rodents or something like that and probably didn't get much value out of them as far as nutrients goes. The same way as a human won't get much nutrient value out of eating grass, whereas many herbivores do because their digestive systems can handle things like cellulose.
@@deathsonggaming Yes, they can. You are just way more likely to get them from under cooked fresh water fish. Most domestic cows esp commercially raised are wormed on a regular basis.
@@huntlordx2785 Sighs, did you not read the entire thread before posting? Yes they CAN come from cows, but generally they don't. Commercial beef has to be wormed. You are more likely to get them from fresh water fish. This was already stated.
@@huntlordx2785 they very obviously have said that cows do potentially carry tapeworms many times and yet you've seem to missed that point many times due to a possible lack of reading comprehension skills.
we're all afraid of this but lets be honest, this is probably better for you than that small orange juice that took suspiciously long to come from McDonalds
Cyrsclin This isn't the 90s anymore. McDonalds is held at a way higher standard than most restaurants. There is a point where if you get sued enough. You make sure your product is un-sue-able to maintain profit.
everybody's so against this but please just acknowledge and accept that many Europeans eat raw beef and egg (even the Japanese add raw eggs to some dishes). Of course, there are rules in place and food safety regulations that mean if you buy from a reliable source, it's safe to eat. An example is the red lion stamp on eggs in the UK which shows it's safe to eat raw as well, but should be avoided just if you're pregnant
"Some Japanese" Raw eggs are one of the most important parts of Japanese cuisine. The issue is that US eggs are shit. They're way less healthy and less fresh increasing the chance of salmonella. In Europe, the only way you're going to get salmonella is raw eggwhite or raw chicken.
Eggs in the US grocery stores are washed, which removes the protective layer on the outside of the egg that prevents bacteria from getting in through the pores of the egg shell. This is why eggs in the US are refrigerated, whereas in many other countries, including the UK, they're not as it's not required. Also, eggs that are sold in the supermarkets in the UK are from chickens that are vaccinated against several different strains of salmonella.
Haha yeah who needs health experts lmao that's lame I love salmonellosis. Real men face food poisoning and life-threatening systemic infections head-on. 💪😤🔥💯💯
Just like all food, if it is properly prepared in a safe environment by an informed person and maintained at a serve safe temperature - it’s safe. It can be a bit scary at first, but if you don’t try it, you’ll never know if you like it. (It’s pretty tasty)
By the looks of it this guy is not taking the right precautions though, and the narrators are not informing people that they cant just hop on to Walmart and pick up a dollar steak for tartar. You need high quality (preferrably vacuum sealed) beef. Cutting straight from the loin is smart but he should have switched knives in between cutting the outer bacteria riddled muscle and silver skin before chopping the meat. The eggs should also be pastuerized, but I think its illegal to sell unpastuerized eggs in a restaurant in the first place. There's always a risk with rawer or undercooked meat, you can get food poisoning from a medium rare steak even; like you said quality and handling matter most.
@Cryptivity the inside of meat is sterile bc of the structure of the muscle not allowing bacteria and things inside. This is only true if it is a clean cut (no hacks in the beef) and if it stays below 40 F. Below that, muscle structure loosens, more bacteria comes in, and the meat becomes a perfect place for maggots, bacteria, flies, mold, and parasites to breed. Tapeworms are only present in infected cows, which would be discarded on the processing line. E. Coli would be present if you eat your steak completely raw at room temperature, since there is a chance that there is e coli on the outside of the meat which then goes into the meat itself if there are any cuts into the meat or if you touch the meat with contaminated objects like tongs.
@@stellagyan541 Not at all! Many foods can be eaten raw, not just fruits and vegetables. Certain meats, eggs, and many kinds of fish are eaten raw worldwide. Some are seen as delicacies, like beef tartare or caviar- and others are regional specialties like ceviche and sashimi.
I remember my mother making meatballs when i was a little kid. She mixed the raw mince with the other ingredients such as chopped onion, parsley, egg, salt, pepper etc and sometimes i would have a taste of the the raw stuff because it smelt so nice to me. I liked it - not as much as the cooked meatballs of course - but my mother who had never heard of "tartare steak" (just like me at the time) disapproved and thought it was a silly thing to do. But it has been a long time since I don't eat even cooked meat.
The biggest difference is that eating raw ground beef is NOT safe, while eating raw beef cut and ground from a fresh steak is safe. Also idk if mince means pork but you can never eat raw pork under any circumstances
@@zen8704 I mean, you can. Raw pork is more likely to carry illnesses. but the chance of getting seriously ill from raw pork is still "relatively" low. (not that you should, and you should always cook it properly, it is just not "as" dangerous as people make it out to be)
Thai people have been eating raw beef for centuries. The dish is called laab or larb and its this spicing bitter lean beef with tons of herbs. super delicious with papaya salad or raw jumping shrimps.
Raw egg is fine as long as it comes from a decent source. I live in Britain and almost all commercially available eggs have the lion stamp,which means thy come from hens vaccinated against salmonella and don't undergo all the washing and spraying with chemicals a lot of american eggs do (this actually makes them safer funnily enough).
As long as the food comes from a good source and is fresh, you can basically eat every animal product raw without risk. Raw milk, Beef tartare, sushi, raw eggs (you probably already ate some in mayonese), mett (raw minced pork) or even raw chicken (chicken sashimi is actually quite common in japan). The risk of getting sick isn't an inherent feature of the product, but of shitty dirty environments and improper storage.
It's safe as long as it's fresh and parasite-free, much like sushi. The most common issue with raw meat is tapeworms, therefore the meat has to come from a reliable source.
+chronixal I honestly can't decide if this terror of disease is a legitimate fear americans have because their food is all so crap, or if it's just part of the paranoid culture they have.
Chronixal I don't know about your country but we in Europe have quite high health standards. Every piece of meat is checked for tapeworms and trichinella worms (pork worms), especially game meat. and there is almost zero risk of getting a parasite. If your country have shitty health and hygiene standards, dont put your fear (or paranoia) on us Europeans, we have nothing to fear.
What..? I'm French and we eat it often. It taste amazing with French fries and garlic. Make sure to not eat it in a sketchy place but it's one of my favorite meal to eat. Seriously suprised to see so many people shocked at this/ not knowing we eat it.
I was an American kid raised in Europe in Idar-Oberstein, Germany (Army Brat). I went to an American School and grew up used to Steak Tartare served before your main course like chips and dip in Mexican restaurants. I did not move back to the US until I was 14.
