Ingredients
Scale
Steak and Seasoning
- 1 lb ribeye steak
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Bread and Toppings
- 1 baguette, sliced
- 1/2 cup horseradish sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat Grill or Skillet: Heat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat to ensure a perfect sear on the steak.
- Season Steak: Generously season both sides of the ribeye steak with salt and pepper to enhance its natural flavors.
- Cook Steak: Place the steak on the hot grill or skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side to achieve a medium-rare doneness.
- Rest and Slice Steak: Remove the steak from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes to retain its juices, then thinly slice it against the grain for maximum tenderness.
- Toast Baguette: Brush the baguette slices lightly with olive oil and toast them until golden and crisp for a sturdy base.
- Spread Horseradish Sauce: Evenly spread horseradish sauce on each toasted baguette slice to add a zesty kick.
- Assemble Crostini: Top the sauce-coated baguette slices with thin slices of ribeye steak.
- Serve: Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast of warm, crispy bread and tender steak with horseradish punch.
Notes
- Resting the steak is essential to keep it juicy and tender.
- Use fresh horseradish sauce for the best flavor impact.
- For a milder taste, mix horseradish sauce with a bit of mayonnaise or sour cream.
- These crostini are best served fresh to maintain bread crispness.
- You can customize toppings by adding arugula or caramelized onions for extra flavor.
