In [[Belgium]] and [[Luxembourg]] the dish is called ''filet américain''.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Filet américain : signification et origine de l'expression|url=https://www.linternaute.fr/expression/langue-francaise/16862/filet-americain/|access-date=2021-05-28|website=www.linternaute.fr}}</ref> The meat used for producing steak tartare is usually of a very high quality. The name refers to the [[Tatars]], who are said to have had meat under their saddle when riding. Because the dish is usually eaten raw, there are health concerns: The meat may have been [[contamination|contaminated]] with [[bacteria]] or [[parasite]]s. These risks can be reduced when following basic rules of [[hygiene]] and by using fresh meat. ==References== {{Reflist}} {{Meat}} {{Food-stub}} [[Category:Meat dishes]]
