Notes
Recipe for Rhineland Rye Rolls
Steak Tartare originated in France many centuries ago. With the occupation of the Rhineland by Napoleonic troops in the beginning of the 19th century, many wonderful French culinary traditions were adopted and adapted in the region. Over time, the dish spread throughout Europe, known as rabiff in Sweden or gyuniku sashimi in Japan.
