If you’re looking for a new appetizer to whip up for your next party, Chef de Cuisine Derek Biazo of deseo at the Westin Kierland Resort and Spa has a showstopper for you to try: tartare de carne. It may not be the easiest recipe to tackle, but your guests will be talking about it long after the party is over. “If you take the time to do it, you’ll be the star of the show,” Biazo says.

When preparing, Biazo suggests making the plantain chips first because they’re the most labor intensive, then tackle the aji verde sauce, chorizo powder and finally, the tartare. Make sure you get a high-quality, deep red filet and chill the meat before slicing, Biazo says.
