Steak Tartare Allez Retour

"This is a great refreshing version of the traditional recipe, because the meat mixture is very quickly colored over a very hot non-stick pan and served on a beautiful watercress coulis topped with a savory herb salad. It's great for a light evening outdoor meal, served with a light Pinot Noir. Enjoy"
