Description
These elegant Beef Tenderloin Crostini are the perfect appetizer for any gathering. Tender, seasoned beef is served atop crisp, garlic-rubbed baguette slices with a creamy horseradish sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 baguette, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
- 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1 clove garlic, halved
- 1 pound beef tenderloin, trimmed
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons prepared horseradish
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange baguette slices on a baking sheet and brush with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Toast for 5-7 minutes until golden. Rub each toast with cut garlic clove.
- Season beef tenderloin with salt and pepper. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet over high heat. Sear beef for 2-3 minutes per side until browned. Transfer to a baking dish and roast to desired doneness (about 20-25 minutes for medium-rare). Let rest 10 minutes, then slice thinly.
- In a small bowl, mix sour cream and horseradish. Spread a small amount on each crostini.
- Top each crostini with a slice of beef. Garnish with chives and parsley.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
For best results, use well-marbled beef tenderloin. The horseradish sauce can be made a day ahead and refrigerated.
