Steak Tartare
Ingredients
Assorted fresh greens
12 ounces beef tenderloin or sirloin
Worcestershire sauce
Hot pepper sauce
Salt
Black Pepper
2 tablespoons drained capers
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1/3 cup minced red onion
1/3 cup finely chopped parsley
2 eggs
4 slices of white bread, crusts removed, brushed with olive
oil and lightly toasted
Extra-virgin olive oil
Directions
Garnish 2 plates with the fresh greens.
Place the beef on a cutting board and finely chop with a
very sharp knife. Season to taste with Worcestershire sauce, hot pepper sauce,
salt and black pepper. Shape the meat into 2 patties of equal size and center
each on a plate of fresh greens.
Around each meat patty arrange half of the capers, Dijon
mustard, red onion and parsley. Carefully break the 2 eggs, reserving the yolk
and half of each shell. Place the yolks in their eggshell cups, then sit an egg
cup in the center of each patty. Serve the steak tartare with toast points,
olive oil, and hot pepper sauce and Worcestershire sauces on the side.

Paranormal romance
Short Blurb:
When duty forces a shaman to stop a vampire from her revenge, love doesn’t just burn... it bites.
For two hundred years, Niki DeVeraux has been tracking the monster who murdered her family and made her a vampire. She finally catches up to him only to face more than she bargained for in a too-sexy sheriff who makes her remember she’s still a woman. With duties as Keeper of the peace and Sheriff, Shane Spencer must protect humanity and stop the friction between the local Arcaine races before it turns into an all out blood war.
When wolves start turning up dead, the tension between the races grows and suspicion falls on Niki. Shane knows she’s not to blame, and it has nothing to do with the primal urges she stirs within him. Working together, they must stop the hostilities from going over the edge. Trouble is, the desires raging between them might prove more dangerous than the surrounding threats.

Hi Mila,
Thanks so much for having me over today :)
Amber thank you for coming by. I really dig your cover for Bloodstorm. Such a teaser to me. :)
Thanks for the recipe of steak tartare. I have always heard about it but have never had it. Now I just might.
Thanks Mila.
Bas, unlike my vampires, I prefer my meat extra-well done, LOL. No bloody meat for me :)
Thanks for stopping by.
Mmm. It sounds delicious. I will have to try it. But, unlike you Amber, I like my meat more like how your vampires prefer it. Medium rare is so yummy!
Don't think I'm going to try the streak tartar. I don't like steak for a start so eating it raw would be far too masterchef for me! I love the idea of a cookbook for vampires though, that would be very useful when vampires come round for dinner!
And the winner of the $5 prize is bas1chs.
Please email me amberkallyn (@) gmail (.) com to get the gift card Congrats!
Remember, the $20 prize for the person who comments on the most blogs during the tour is open until May 17th.
The recipe sounds delicious. I eat my steak more like your vampires. Medium rare for me. ;)
