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)
- ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 5 garlic cloves (peeled)
- ¼ cup lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon Korean chili flakes
- ½ cup olive oil
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter (at room temperature)
- 2 large onions (thinly sliced)
Instructions
- Prepare chimichurri sauce by blending parsley, roasted red peppers, garlic, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper in a food processor. Slowly drizzle in olive oil while mixing until emulsified. Set aside.
- Caramelize onions in a skillet with butter over medium heat for about 20 minutes until golden brown; add balsamic vinegar and brown sugar at the end to enhance flavor.
- Grill filet mignon steaks for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium rare. Let rest before slicing thinly against the grain.
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Brush baguette slices with olive oil and bake for about 1–2 minutes on each side until golden and crispy.
- Assemble crostini by layering caramelized onions on toasted bread, followed by garlic butter, steak slices, and finishing with chimichurri sauce.
