Steak Tartare on a Budget
I love eating raw meat because I get a quick burst of energy. It feels like eating a form of sushi with the texture of raw tuna. It’s a colorful, flavorful, and fresh dinner that practically digest itself with the live enzymes still intact. Yes, raw meat has enzymes just like any other raw food you eat. I also notice the amount of meat I eat is much less and I’m full much quicker.
~ Quality over Quantity ~
I realize people think raw paleo recipes are hard to make, they’re afraid of the “safety” factor, and it’s too expensive. It’s actually super simple and much safer than eating food from restaurants. When you make dinner at home you will know exactly where your food is coming from and what’s in it.
How to source raw meat
I went to a local butcher today and asked for fresh, organic, and grass-fed meat. Clean animals produce clean food. There were two options that were the best for making steak tartare. Beef tenderloin was $39 a pound and the Flat iron steak was $20 a pound. I bought 1/2 pound of Flat Iron Steak for $10. I brought a cooler with me ready with cold ice packs for my meat on the way home.
