1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh basil
1/2 teaspoon finely chopped garlic
1/2 teaspoon finely chopped red onion
2 anchovy fillets
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
3 tablespoons canola oil
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon water
1 pound (455 g) top sirloin
Salt and pepper
4 slices country bread, brushed with olive oil

1
To make the dressing, in a large measuring pitcher, combine the olive, parsley, basil, garlic, onion, anchovy fillets, Parmesan, vinegar, the oils, the brown sugar, mustard, and the water.
2
Emulsify with a hand blender and set aside.
3
To prep the meat, cut the sirloin into 1/2-inch (12-mm) cubes, making sure there is no silver skin or gristle.
4
Using a small blender or food processor, grind the meat until it has that steak tartare consistency.
5
Place the ground meat in a bowl and season with salt and pepper.
6
Add the dressing and mix well.
7
We recommend starting with half and adding more to taste.
8
Toast the oil-brushed bread slices.
9
If you want to get crazy, rub the toast with a garlic clove, and place an anchovy fillet on top of each slice.
10
Place the tartare on a plate, arrange the toasted bread slices on the side, and spoon the pickled vegetables alongside the tartare.
11
Garnish the tartare with the parsley and Parmesan shavings.
12
Serve right away.
