Tips:

  • For the best results, use a high-quality beef tenderloin steak. Look for one that is well-marbled and has a deep red color.
  • Cook the steak to your desired doneness. For a medium-rare steak, cook it for about 4-5 minutes per side. For a medium steak, cook it for about 5-6 minutes per side. And for a medium-well steak, cook it for about 6-7 minutes per side.
  • Let the steak rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing it. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, making it more tender and juicy.
  • Use a sharp knife to slice the steak against the grain. This will help to keep the steak tender and prevent it from becoming tough.
  • Serve the steak crostini immediately, while the steak is still warm and juicy.

Conclusion:

Beef tenderloin crostini are a delicious and elegant appetizer that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a little bit of planning, you can have a delicious and impressive appetizer that your guests will love.
