Why so many people think its dangerous to eat steak tartare in Pattaya ?
Does Tuckerton have the right recipe for steak tartare?

Try Luxor opposite the Flamingo hotel.

Both Luxor and the Famingo are closed, although I don't think it had anything to do with Steak Tartar.

Hehehe....

Some scholars of Islamic dietary laws and Jewish kashrut argue that raw meat is forbidden or treif.

Why so much fuss about what to eat and how to eat. Do Christians have any food which is forbiden ?

Yes I remember that I enjoyed a great steak tartare at Luxo'r.Where else do they serve this dish ?

Christian Roman Catholics do not eat meat on Fridays.

Christian Roman Catholics do not eat meat on Fridays.

Sure they do, but only under the following conditions:
1. They are not vegetarians;
2. They are hungry and under 40.

Quick recipe for Steak Tartare:

Take one three ounce frozen hamburger patty.
Thaw it out.
Season to taste.
Bon appetite.

Wine suggestion: 2005 Nuits St. Georges served at 31 degrees C. (Two bottles)

Of course you could marinate it in a sauce of egg yolk Worcestshire, Tabasco, olive oil, capers... ad nauseum but why even have it if you are dead set on killing the taste of meat?

I prefer a Romanée Conti served at 15 degrees C. and fresh cuts of filet mignon for the tartar.

But of course every body his own taste. In the Issan they use buffalo meat and a refreshing law cow( Si sip)( thai white whiskey)

That rule - which was only territorial in the first place (it didn't apply, for example, to Canada or Mexico) - has been gone for about 30 years now. It still somewhat applies on the Fridays during the Lent season but it doesn't carry the "you'll go to hell" sticker for violation as it once did.

My temp was in error. Should be 57 degrees F or 15 degrees C.

I believe the steak tartar I had at Luxo'r was 450 baht, which to my mind seems a bit much for something they even don't have to cook.

Thats why Luxo'r is closed, It was getting to expensive and the quality of food wasn't good enough.

Never having ordered steak tartare in a restaurant or eaten it at home I haven't a clue how much it should cost, but it seems reasonable to assume the steak has to be good quality in order to be edible at all. Chefs and restaurant owners must love it when a customer orders his steak well-done. The chef tips a wink to the under-chef who proceeds to dig out the oldest toughest steak in the cooler. The rarer the steak the more it should cost!

I'd be careful about eating raw beef; look what it's done to those mad cows.

Hehehe...

Did I forget something ?

If you think you look like the Count of Montecristo, quite possibly your marbles, although I could be confusing it with marbled steak which some deem a delightful delicacy.
