This recipe comes from a chef who understands nutrition and uses nothing but real food…Check out this raw, enzyme & nutrient rich, fat burning buffalo recipe with Chef Frank Giglio…
This recipe can easily be called a tartar, but to keep this always changing, I thought I would call it a “chop” salad. I prefer buffalo, free range if possible and of course grass fed. If buffalo is not try bison, venison, elk or beef. Enjoy as a spread on your favorite toasted bread or cracker.
Ingredients
6-8 oz lean buffalo steak (tenderloin, loin, ribeye, etc…)
1 clove garlic, minced
2T minced shallot
2T olive oil
1T fresh rosemary
2t fresh cracked black pepper
Splash fresh lemon juice
To Taste-crystal salt
Garnish
Thin sliced sweet potato, marinated in crystal salt and olive oil
1 quail egg yolk (optional)
lightly sauteed fiddleheads (optional)
Procedure
Chop steak into smaller pieces. Add remaining ingredients, chop well to
incorporate and infuse flavors. This process may take a few minutes. Be sure
to continue until the meat is uniform in size. Season with salt, add lemon.
To serve, lay a pinwheel of sweet potato slices in the center of a plate. Scoop
steak mixture into a ring mold. Press in, remove ring mold. Place egg yolk or
fiddleheads on top of the steak. Sprinkle with additional fresh chopped
rosemary.
Enjoy!

When away from the kitchen, Frank enjoys spending many hours out in the elements of nature. In July 2008, Frank successfully completed the VT100 mile endurance run in under 23 hours! A feat that he can easily call “The most challenging effort ever put forth in my life!” Frank add, “Running long distances is a great way to not only find optimal health, but to dig dip inside and see what you have!” You can also find him deep in the forest, on the hunt for chaga mushrooms and other fine delectables that nature always provides.
