Stir all the ingredients together until well combined. Make sure the flavours are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
In a separate pan, toast the panko breadcrumbs over medium heat until they turn golden brown and crispy. Set aside.
In a small dry skillet, lightly toast the sesame seeds over low heat until fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.
To serve, shape the beef tartare mixture into a mound or desired shape on a plate.
Drizzle the Japanese mayo over the top of the beef tartare.
Sprinkle the toasted panko breadcrumbs and sesame seeds over the beef tartare as a garnish.
You can serve the spicy beef tartare immediately with toasted bread or baguette slices on the side.
Remember to handle raw beef with care and ensure it is fresh and of high quality.
