Beef Tartare with Mustard Aioli & Watermelon Radish

Executive Chef Jon Buchanan of Third Coast Restaurant (thirdcoasthouston.com) agrees that it is important to use high-quality beef that is raised humanely and naturally—like they do at 44Farms. For an alternative to beef, Chef Buchanan suggests to try this recipe with Axis venison or bison!
