About this dish
Filet américain (often shortened to américain) a raw beef preparation associated particularly with Belgian cuisine and closely related to steak tartare. It consists of finely minced or ground beef, served either plain (nature) or seasoned with ingredients such as egg yolk, mustard, capers, onion and sauces. In the Netherlands, the term filet americain commonly refers to a spreadable prepared version used as sandwich filling, whereas in Belgium the term may refer more broadly to both the natural and prepared forms.
