Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb flank, sirloin, or flat iron steak
- 1 tablespoon high smoke point oil (grapeseed, avocado, or canola)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 baguette, preferably day-old
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1–2 large cloves garlic, peeled
- 1 (5.2 oz) package Boursin cheese (Garlic & Herb variety) OR 4 oz soft goat cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley or chives, finely chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Steak: Pat steak dry. Season liberally with salt and pepper. Heat high smoke point oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Sear steak 3-5 minutes per side for medium-rare (130-135°F internal temperature). Transfer to a cutting board, tent with foil, and rest for 5-10 minutes.
- Slice and Toast Crostini: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice baguette into ¼ to ½-inch rounds. Arrange on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt. Toast for 8-12 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
- Build the Flavor Base: While crostini are warm, rub a peeled garlic clove over the surface of each toasted slice to infuse with garlic flavor.
- Assemble the Crostini: Thinly slice rested steak against the grain. Spread a generous amount of Boursin or goat cheese onto each garlic-rubbed crostini. Top with a few slices of steak.
- Garnish and Serve: Finely chop fresh parsley or chives. Sprinkle generously over the assembled crostini. Serve immediately for best results.
