Description
Tender steak bites served on crispy crostini with creamy blue cheese and a sweet-tart raspberry balsamic sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 baguette, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 lb sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized cubes
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup blue cheese, crumbled
- 1/2 cup raspberry preserves
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Arrange baguette slices on a baking sheet, brush with 1 tablespoon olive oil, and toast for 8-10 minutes until golden.
- Season steak bites with salt and pepper. Heat remaining olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook steak bites for 2-3 minutes per side, until browned and cooked to desired doneness. Remove from skillet.
- In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté garlic for 30 seconds. Add raspberry preserves and balsamic vinegar, stir, and let simmer for 2 minutes until thickened.
- To assemble, top each crostini with a few steak bites, drizzle with raspberry balsamic sauce, and sprinkle with crumbled blue cheese and fresh parsley.
Notes
For a milder cheese, substitute gorgonzola or feta. The sauce can be made ahead and reheated.
