One meat dish that is said to have gotten its name from riders who kept the meat under their saddle is "Steak Tartare". It is a dish made of finely chopped raw beef, seasoned with spices and served with raw egg yolk on top. According to a popular legend, the dish is named after the Tartar horsemen of Central Asia who would keep raw meat under their saddle and softening it by the end of the day. The dish then became popular in Europe and was named "Steak Tartare" in honor of the Tartar people who gave the idea.
