Is it true that steak tartare was invented by Mongol warriors who tenderized horse meat under their saddles?
No. A reference article on steak tartare states that the story of Turco-Mongol warriors tenderizing meat under their saddles is a popular caricature popularized by a chronicler who never met Tatars, and that the meat was likely for healing horses' saddle sores rather than food. This directly contradicts the claim that Mongol warriors invented steak tartare by tenderizing horse meat under their saddles.
