Beef and habanero tartare

Cured egg yolks

Method

1
To begin, cure the egg yolks. Whisk together the soy sauce, sake and sugar and add to a bowl. Separate the yolks from the whites and add to the marinade, ensuring they are completely covered
2
Place in the fridge for 8 hours before serving to cure (the level of curing will depend on how long you leave the yolks – a longer cure will result in more solid yolks)
3
To make the tartare, mix together all of the ingredients (except the tortillas) in a bowl and check the seasoning
4
To serve, spoon the tartare onto tostadas, leaving a little well in the centre for the egg yolks. Carefully spoon the yolks into the centre of each tostada and serve
  • 4 corn tortillas, deep-fried until crisp
