You've probably heard of Tatar beef steak (raw minced meat with spices, which has basically nothing to do with Tatar cuisine; and it came to Europe thanks to Americans and was even called American at first). And Serbian pljeskavica (probably one of the most famous local dishes).

In Serbia they love both. But in Valjevo they decided to combine these things. And came up with... raw pljeskavica 😅

In Serbian it's called "živa pljeskavica" (time to remember the meme about Gordon Ramsay and the raw steak finishing his salad). The dish is basically not much different from Tatar beef steak, except they serve it with toasted bread, and it's theirs, homegrown. Even Serbian news outlets praise it. They say the recipe is over 50 years old and tastes much better than its competitor.

Curiosity got the better of me and I went for a tasting. Surprisingly, it was really tasty. And no, I wasn't that hungry)
