SURF AND TURF RIB-EYE CROSTINI WITH GORGONZOLA MOUSSE AND CARAMELIZED BOURBON SHALLOTS

Steps:

• For the steak: Liberally sprinkle both sides of the steaks with salt and pepper, then let sit at room temperature for 1 hour.
• Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until very hot. Add the steaks and sear until well browned, about 4 minutes. Flip the steaks and add the butter, garlic and rosemary. Using a spoon, continually baste the top of the steaks with the butter. Cook until medium to medium rare, about 6 more minutes. Set aside loosely covered with foil and let rest 10 minutes before slicing.
• For the Gorgonzola mousse: Blend together the Neufchatel and Gorgonzola until well combined. Using a hand mixer, beat the heavy cream to medium peaks. Fold in the cheese mixture until uniform. Season with salt and pepper.
• For the crostini: Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat.
• Drizzle some olive oil over both sides of the baguette slices and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toast the slices on the grill pan until light golden on both sides, a few minutes per side.
• To build the crostini, thinly slice the rested steaks against the grain and layer onto the crostini, about 4 slices per crostini. Place a dollop of the Gorgonzola mousse on top (or pipe for a fancier presentation), followed by some Caramelized Bourbon Shallots, Marinated Radishes and microgreens. Top with a piece of shrimp on a tiny skewer or toothpick, tail up.
• Melt the butter in a pan over medium heat. Add the shallots and slowly sweat and caramelize for 15 to 20 minutes. Deglaze with the bourbon, cooking about a minute, then season with salt and pepper.
• Whisk together the vinegar, honey and mustard in a bowl and add the radishes. Let sit for at least 1 hour and up to overnight.
