Ingredients
For the Crostini:
1 baguette, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
2 tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
For the Steak:
1 lb beef steak (such as ribeye or tenderloin)
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tbsp olive oil
For the Horseradish Cream:
1/2 cup sour cream
2 tbsp prepared horseradish
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp lemon juice
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Crostini: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet. Brush both sides with olive oil, then season with salt and pepper. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until golden and crisp. Set aside to cool.
- Cook the Steak: Season the steak with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steak for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your preferred level of doneness. Let the steak rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly.
- Make the Horseradish Cream: In a bowl, combine the sour cream, horseradish, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth and creamy.
- Assemble the Crostini: Spread a dollop of horseradish cream on each crostini. Top with a slice of steak, and garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired.
Notes
Make-Ahead Tip: Prepare the horseradish cream in advance and store in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Customization: Feel free to add fresh herbs like parsley or chives for garnish or swap out the Dijon mustard for whole grain mustard for extra texture.
Serving Tip: These crostinis are best served fresh, but the components (crostini, steak, and cream) can be stored separately for up to 1 day.
