Filet Mignon Steak Crostini With Horseradish Cream Food

FILET MIGNON STEAK CROSTINI WITH HORSERADISH CREAM

Steps:

• . Whisk together the softened, room temperature cream cheese with the mayonnaise and sour cream until smooth. Whisk in the horseradish, followed by the lemon juice, minced garlic, and chives. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• . Spread the tomatoes in one even layer on a lined sheet tray. Toss with the rosemary sprig, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast in a preheated 450° oven until blistered and starting to burst, stirring once, about 25 minutes.
• . Slice the baguette into 1/4″ slices and brush each side with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Arrange on baking trays in even layers and bake in a preheated 350° oven until golden and evenly crisp, about 15-18 minutes, rotating the pans halfway through. Rub each side of the crostini with the garlic clove while still warm.
• . Heat 1-inch of vegetable oil in a cast iron skillet to 350 degrees. Fry the leek strips in small batches until golden (about 10-15 seconds). Using a slotted spoon, transfer the frizzled leeks to a paper towel-lined plate and season immediately with salt.
• . Smear each crostini with the horseradish cream. Top with the thinly sliced steak, 1 or 2 roasted tomatoes, a few frizzled leeks, and chopped fresh rosemary. Enjoy!

BEEF TENDERLOIN CROSTINI

Steps:

• For the beef tenderloin: Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
• Place the beef tenderloin on a baking sheet, drizzle with the olive oil and season liberally with salt and pepper. Rub the oil and seasoning evenly over the meat.
• Roast the tenderloin until an internal thermometer reads 125 to 130 degrees F for rare to medium rare, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven, tent with aluminum foil and let rest until it reaches room temperature, at least 20 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and thinly slice.
• For the crostini: Turn down the oven temperature to 400 degrees F.
• Put the baguette slices on a baking sheet in 1 layer. Drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake until golden brown and toasted, about 5 minutes.
• For the horseradish sauce: Add the sour cream, applesauce, horseradish, mayonnaise, breadcrumbs and chives to a medium bowl and mix until combined. Season with salt and pepper.
• To assemble: Spread a dollop of horseradish sauce onto each toasted baguette piece, add a slice of beef tenderloin and then top with another dollop of horseradish sauce and a few watercress leaves.

BEEF HORSERADISH CROSTINI

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Brush one side of each bread slice with olive oil.
• Place bread, oiled side up, on a baking sheet and bake for 12 minutes.
• Turn slices over and bake 8 minutes more.
• Cool bread and store in an airtight container up to 3 days.
• Allow roasted beef to cool completely and slice very thin.
• This can be done a day ahead.
• In a bowl, combine horseradish sauce, mustard and thyme.
• Cover and refrigerate up to 3 days.
• When ready to serve, spread crostini with horseradish mixture, top with a tomato slice, and then a slice of beef.
• Top with a small dollop of the horseradish mixture, and garnish with radish slices.

PEPPER-CRUSTED STEAK WITH HORSERADISH CREAM ON GRILLED GARLIC CROSTINI

Steps:

• Combine the garlic, hot red pepper flakes, peppercorns, rosemary, and olive oil in a Zip-loc bag. Add the beef, coating it with the marinade. Squeeze all the air out of the bag so the beef is enveloped by the marinade, and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or overnight.
• Preheat the grill or broiler for 15 to 20 minutes. Sprinkle the steak with the salt and grill or broil to rare or medium rare, depending on your preference.
• The cooking time will depend on the thickness and temperature of the beef, so push at the steak with your finger, and if it still feels totally raw in the middle, give it a little longer.
• This is one of the things that cooks just need to intuit and learn to read the silent signs. Better under than overcooked, so check often, and if your finger defeats you, cut the steak with a knife and have a look. Let the steak rest for at least an hour, to get the juices back into the meat, then cut into short, very thin slices. (The best knife for slicing is a bread knife with wavy rather than pointed teeth, which cuts through beef amazingly well.) Serve on Grilled Garlic Crostini.
• Arrange a few shaved slices of beef on each piece of bread, top with a pungent dot of Horseradish Cream, scatter with minced Italian parsley, and dust on a little kosher salt.
