Steps:
- Lets start with all the components and make them one at a time.
- Horseradish Cream -- Just mix the sour cream, prepared horseradish (not creamy), vinegar, and season with a little salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate until ready to use. The chives should be added right before serving.
- Onions -- To a medium to large sauce pan, add the butter and olive oil and bring to medium heat. Add the onions and slowly begin to caramelize them - don't rush this. It will take a good thirty minutes, but it isn't hard. After 5 minutes add a pinch of salt and sugar and continue to stir now and then. After 15 minutes the moisture (water) from the onions will start to evaporate and the onions begin to caramelize. Once they get golden brown, remove, let cool and refrigerate until you are ready to use them. They can be reheated in the microwave in just a minute when you are ready to make the crostini.
- Garlic Oil -- In a small sauce pan on medium heat, add the oil and garlic. Cook for just a minute on medium and then reduce to medium low and simmer for about 20 minutes until the garlic is golden brown. Remove the garlic and you have wonderful garlic oil. You can always buy a bottle which is expensive, and not nearly as good.
- Beef -- Add the beef broth and marsala to a small bowl to a small pan and heat until warm. Add in the beef slices and cook just a minute or two until the beef is warm. You don't want to over cook it, it doesn't take long.
- Crostini -- Slice and grill or broil just until golden brown on each side. Remove and brush each slice with some of the garlic oil.
- Onions -- As the bread is toasting and the beef warming up - heat up your onions for just 1 minute in the microwave, they are all done you just want them warm.
- Horseradish Cream -- Don't forget to stir in the chives right before you are ready to serve.
- Toppings -- Top each garlic crostini with some of the warmed caramelized onions, then a slice or two of beef, then a little of the horseradish cream.
- ENJOY!

BEEF FILLET CROSTINI ASIAN STYLE
For my 46th birthday my husband treated me to a one-evening cooking course. It must have been one of the most enjoyable evenings I've ever had. This recipe is from that course. This was the appetizer and a very popular one at that. Don't let the long list of ingredients scare you, it's mostly herbs, spices and condiments for flavoring. Prep time does not include marinating time, that you have to figure out for yourself depending on your own personal tastes and time.

Steps:
- 1. Slice the baguette into one inch slices or wider if you prefer. Lightly toast each side, (toaster oven works great) and lightly butter one side and sprinkle with a bit of garlic salt.
- 2. Thinly slice your left over rare roast and pile pieces on top of the baguette. Pop in a preheated toaster oven or regular oven and cook for just a few minutes, long enough to warm the meat. Top with a bit of fresh ground pepper and a few grains of sea salt.
- 3. Mix the horseradish and Creme Fraiche together and spoon a bit on the top of each baguette or alternatively simply supply a bowl with the dip in it and a spoon and guests can put their own on.
Tips:
- Choose the right bread: A good crusty bread like a baguette or ciabatta will provide a sturdy base for your crostini.
- Slice the bread evenly: This will help to ensure that the crostini cook evenly.
- Brush the bread with olive oil: This will help to keep the crostini from drying out and also give them a nice golden brown color.
- Top the crostini with your favorite toppings: There are endless possibilities for toppings, so get creative! Some popular options include roasted vegetables, grilled meats, cheese, and spreads.
- Bake the crostini until they are golden brown and crispy: This will usually take 5-10 minutes in a preheated oven.
- Serve the crostini immediately: They are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven.
Conclusion:
Beef crostini are a delicious and easy appetizer that can be made with a variety of toppings. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and they can also be enjoyed as a snack or light meal. With so many different ways to make them, there's sure to be a beef crostini recipe that everyone will love.
