Tantalizing Tartare

Follow a winding road from our city streets and find inspiration for great recipes, where tradition meets integrity and quality will always trump quantity … where our tantalizing tartare obtains origins in a recipe for success. All tartare is not created equal, and the key is beginning where that winding road leads … to Slagel Family Farm in central Illinois. Because Chef Hedin knows there is so much more that goes into a recipe than just ingredients, his focus at Leopold honors local farms, and with our tender tartare tastes, beginning with excellence is always expected. Succulent sirloin from a family full of pride and pleasure in everything they do makes for a dish of sparkling splendor. Speaking of sparkling, have a glass or two for a brilliant beginning to a delectable dinner. Find purity and balance in tings of acidity, precisely punctuated by a glistening egg yolk and sumptuous seasoning . And just like spot on savoring, you can always taste when there is love from farm to Chef on the plate … sshhh, don’t tell anyone, it’s the secret ingredient in our tantalizing tartare.
