Ingredients
Scale
- 2 filet mignon steaks (about 2 inches thick)
- 1 Italian or French baguette (½-inch slices)
- 1 cup roasted red peppers (chopped)
- ½ cup fresh parsley (chopped)
- 5 garlic cloves (peeled)
- 2 large onions (thinly sliced)
- 8 tablespoons butter
- ¼ cup apple vinegar
- ¼ cup lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon Korean chili flakes (adjust for heat preference)
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- Salt and pepper to taste
- ½ cup olive oil
Instructions
- Prepare chimichurri sauce by blending chopped roasted red peppers, parsley, garlic, apple vinegar, lemon juice, smoked paprika, chili flakes, and olive oil until smooth.
- In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter and add sliced onions. Cook for about 20 minutes until caramelized; then stir in balsamic vinegar and brown sugar.
- Mix softened butter with minced garlic and parsley to create garlic butter.
- Preheat the grill to 500°F and season the steaks with salt and pepper. Grill each side for about 4-5 minutes for medium-rare.
- Toast baguette slices brushed with olive oil in the oven at 400°F for about 1-2 minutes per side.
- Allow steaks to rest before slicing into thin strips. Assemble crostini by layering caramelized onions, garlic butter, steak slices, and chimichurri sauce on toasted bread.
