Pepper Crusted Steak With Horseradish Cream On Grilled Garlic Crostini Recipes

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!

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.

GRILLED GARLIC CROSTINI

Steps:

• Mix the olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl and brush lightly on both sides of the bread slices. Grill for 15 to 20 seconds on each side, until nicely marked, then remove with tongs and set aside. For broiling, position the rack so the slices are 2 inches from the flame and turn when the crostini starts to blacken at the edges.

GARLIC & HORSERADISH CRUSTED STEAKS

Steps:

• Whisk the horseradish, mustard, garlic, olive oil and 2 tablespoons pepper in a bowl.
• Spread generously over the beef.
• Marinate, covered, in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours.
• Season with kosher salt and additional pepper.
• Grill or broil to desired temperature.
• Note: It is best never to pierce a steak with a fork when turning as you will lose some of the juices and cause the steak to be less tender.
• Also, when grilling, may I suggest grilling an onion at the same time (This trick taught to me by Titanium Chef, her recipe#25572).
• Note: To avoid the crust from falling off while grilling I suggest using a flat grill pan (the type with the holes in it). Be sure to spray it with a non-stick spray and let it heat before placing the steak on it.

Grill beef, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from the heat for 4-6 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 135°; medium, 140°; medium-well, 145°). Let stand for 5 minutes. Thinly slice across the grain., Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the oil, garlic and basil; brush lightly over baguette slices. Place on baking sheets.
