‘Steak’ Crostini
Visit your grocer’s deli for rare London broil sliced thin to make these delicious open-faced appetizers. All the beefy flavor, but easier on the wallet.
Ingredients
1 baguette, sliced about ⅓-inch thick on the diagonal
2–3 tablespoons butter, softened
1 package (5.3 ounces) Boursin Cheese (we used garlic), softened
1 cup sprouts
¼ pound thinly sliced rare London Broil (or roast beef)
3 tablespoons pepper jelly, melted
½ small red onion, very thinly sliced
Blue cheese crumbles
Poppy seeds
Freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Spread 1 side of bread pieces with butter. Toast on each side, using the high heat of a cast iron skillet, grill or broiler.
Spread a dollop of the cheese onto toast pieces. Scatter with sprouts, then a piece of the beef. Brush with pepper jelly. Scatter slivers of onion over toasts. Garnish with blue cheese crumbles, poppy seeds and a dusting of freshly ground black pepper.
Best to serve immediately or toast will become soft.
