Nutritional values

Beef tartare contains 60 percent less fat than normal ground beef and is particularly rich in iron. The tasty vegetable cream on top of it provides around 20 percent of the daily requirement of folic acid, which is needed for cell division.

If you replace 100 grams of meat with low-fat curd cheese, the minced meat may be a little fattier. By the way: If there is no stale bread in the house, you can use 6-8 tablespoons of oat flakes instead.
