Answer 1

Ok.... firstly beef tartare is supposed to be raw. It should not be slimy, should not taste sour and should not smell rancid or like dead meat. Anything eaten raw MUST be absolutely fresh!

It should taste a bit creamy and tasty.

Answer 3

It should smell like raw meat. You don't cook steak Tartare. It's eaten raw. Here's a recipe

2 1/2 lbs. ground round or sirloin, trim and grind twice (butcher can do this)
4 tbsp. dry red wine
3 cloves minced garlic
3/4 tsp. Tabasco sauce
2 tsp. dry mustard
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. hickory smoked salt
1 tsp. curry powder

After mixing all ingredients, refrigerate for 2 hours. Mound on a pretty plate and decorate the top with well-drained capers. Serve with thinly sliced rye or party rye. Chop fine hard boiled eggs and red onions. Put in bowls alongside.

Personally I wouldn't use the garlioc, I hate the stuff and the smell makes me sick but it's up to you. Also I wouldn't eat raw meat. I would rather have the sirtloin grilled.

If you want to eat truly healthy, lose body fat consistently, normalize your blood pressure, cholesterol levels, prevent cancer, and even boost your brain health and energy levels, you may have heard all over the news that the Paleo Diet has been found to be one of the best methods of achieving all of these benefits compared to any other popular "fad" diets out there.

The truth is that the Paleo Diet will never be considered a fad because it's just simply the way that humans evolved to eat over approximately 2 million years. And eating in a similar fashion to our ancestors has been proven time and time again to offer amazing health benefits, including prevention of most diseases of civilization such as cancer, heart disease, alzheimers, and other chronic conditions that are mostly caused by poor diet and lifestyle. One of the biggest misunderstandings about the Paleo Diet is that it's a meat-eating diet, or a super low-carb diet. This is not true

Answer 5

I was going to say it smells sour and it's probably a little slimey. I personally wouldn't eat it raw.
