Yes, I did wonder about that, Sara (memories of the Rowan Atkinson sketch...), but how else do you explain the knife?// Thanks Sara - hand-cut is a good idea - the very idea makes me shudder though!
agree Rachel Fell : beef tartare (or steak tartare) prepared at your table

cut and prepared before you ?

I think they mean they bring the raw beef to the table, then cut it and mince it to the customer's specifications to make the tartare. It is meant to show the meat is freshly prepared !Hope this will help>
