Steak tartare as a snowflake with sharp radish and pickle bubbles: a hack-alert on your plate.
A sharp, tangy steak tartare, shaped like the iconic Snowflake logo, with radish and pickle slices as icy notification bubbles. The silhouette directly refers to the Asos hack and their Snowflake environment being taken over.
Ingredients
- 600 g beef tartare (fresh, finely chopped)
- 4 tbsp capers
- 2 tbsp coarse mustard
- 1 red onion
- 2 egg yolks

Method
- Slice the pickles and radishes into thin rounds.

- Garnish with cress or garden cress and a few dots of mayonnaise around.
