BRIAN'S 100 Best '17

100 BEST ’17: PALESTINIAN TARTARE at NUR

I’m counting down the 100 best dishes I tasted in 2017…

SADLY, NUR IS NOW CLOSED.

Steak tartare is one of those dishes that seems to be difficult to innovate. But Israeli chef Meir Adoni has reinvigorated the dish to an artful plating that is flavorful and filling enough for a main course. The hand-cut beef is earthy and meaty which plays nicely with an artist’s palette of colorful ingredients like smoked eggplant cream, tangy sheep’s milk yogurt, pine nuts, grated tomato, and too many other ingredients to name. Price: $26
