Equipment

  • meat thermometer
  • Skillet
  • baking pan
  • mixing bowls
  • Microplane optional

Ingredients

  • 1 baguette
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 8 oz steak such as tenderloin or ribeye
  • kosher salt
  • black pepper
  • 8 oz burrata 2 balls
  • pinch of flaky salt for topping

Chimichurri

  • ¼ cup fresh flat leaf parsley finely chopped
  • 1 garlic clove grated with a microplane or finely chopped
  • 2 teaspoons sherry vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • pinch of kosher salt
  • pinch of chili flakes

Instructions

  • Prepare the Crostinis: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the baguette into ¼-inch thick rounds. Arrange the slices on a baking sheet and drizzle lightly with olive oil. Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until golden and crisp. Remove from the oven and set aside.
  • Sear the Steak: Season the steak generously with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Sear the steak for 4–5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until the internal temperature reaches 125°F (52°C) if using a tenderloin or rib eye. For thinner cuts, sear for 2–3 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 125°F (52°C). Let the steak rest and cool for at least 20 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain and cut into small pieces to fit each crostini.
  • Make the Chimichurri: In a small bowl, combine the finely chopped parsley, minced garlic, chili flakes, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, and kosher salt. Stir until well mixed. Adjust salt and chili flakes to taste.
  • Assemble: Place a small piece of burrata on each crostini, then add a slice of steak. Spoon a small amount of chimichurri over the top, and finish with a sprinkle of flaky salt.
