Fassona beef tartare with summer vegetable pesto

The Piedmontese Fassona steak is a typical appetizer of the Piedmont region, which has a very tasty meat as its main element.

The Piedmontese breed of Fassone meat is an absolute excellence in the world gastronomic panorama, the flagship of Made in Italy, and is particularly suitable to be eaten raw.

It is distinguished from all other meats for its superior tenderness, instrumentally demonstrated, and for its extraordinary thinness, two characteristics that generally do not go hand in hand and for which the Piemontese is the classic exception that confirms the rule.

I recommend choosing an excellent quality oil, it will make a noticeable difference in the finished product, and pair the dish with a full-bodied red wine:

Barbera DOC or Barolo Piemonte DOCG, Italy

Cornalin AOC Valais or Syrah AOC Valais, Switzerland

Chateauneuf-du-Pape AOC, France
