Tatarák

Tatarák is the Czech take on steak tartare, and it is a cherished delicacy in restaurants and pubs across the country. What sets the Czech version apart is its interactive, customizable nature: the raw minced beef is served in the center of the plate surrounded by an array of condiments and seasonings, and each diner mixes their own portion at the table to their personal taste. It is accompanied by topinky, slices of bread fried in garlic oil until golden and crunchy. Tatarák is a dish that celebrates the quality of the beef and the joy of communal dining.
