Steak Crostini with Gorgonzola Sauce
Ingredients
For the Crostini:
- 1 loaf thin French baguette cut into 1" slices
- 2 Tbsp butter
- 1 tsp garlic minced
For the Steak:
- 1 Tbsp salt
- 1 Tbsp pepper
- 1 tsp brown sugar
- 2 Tbsp parsley finely chopped
- 16 oz Ribeye or NY Strip whole
- 1 Tbsp Avocado oil or canola
For the Gorgonzola Sauce:
- 1/4 cup Gorgonzola or blue cheese crumbles
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 2 Tbsp sour cream
- 1/4 tsp salt
- chives
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350º.
- First, melt your butter on medium heat and incorporate the minced garlic. Baste each side of your crostinis with the garlic-butter on a metal baking sheet. If you want to get all fancy, use a rosemary or thyme sprig to do the basting for a subtle, herby flavor. Place the crostinis in the oven for 5-10 minutes, just long enough to get them nice and toasty. Set crostinis aside.
- Next, mix up your dry-rub for the steak by combining the salt, pepper, brown sugar, and parsley.
- Liberally coat all surfaces of the steak with your seasoning. Don't worry about it being "over-seasoned." In the meantime, get your skillet nice and hot. When your skillet is hot, go ahead and add your oil and swirl it in the pan to coat evenly
- Add your steak and give it a nice sear on each side for about 6 minutes each side BEFORE flipping or moving it around in the pan. This will give you a nice medium-rare steak.To ensure it doesn't overcook, after the second flip insert a meat thermometer to check the temp. You want the temp to be 130º internally for medium rare.
- Once the meat is done, let it rest for at least 2 minutes.
- While the meat is resting, add the blue cheese and cream to a small pot on medium heat. Let the blue cheese melt and stir occasionally to combine well. Remove from heat and add the sour cream, stir again to combine. Add salt and pepper as desired. Set aside.
- Cut the steak against the grain into very thin slices. How thin? As thin as you can get it. Place a thin strip of beef (or two) on each crostini. Give each crostini a dollop: about 1/2 tablespoon) of blue cheese sauce and finish off with your garnishes. That's it!
