🥩 Grilled Beef Tenderloin Crostini with Béarnaise Sauce 🍞
Elegant, bite-sized appetizers perfect for any gathering!
Ingredients:
1 lb beef tenderloin
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 tbsp olive oil
1 baguette, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
2 tbsp butter (for toasting bread)
Fresh chives, chopped (for garnish)
Béarnaise Sauce:
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
2 tbsp fresh tarragon, chopped
1 shallot, finely minced
3 egg yolks
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
Salt and pepper, to taste
Directions:
Prepare the beef:
Season the beef tenderloin with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill or sear over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes per side, depending on your desired doneness. Let rest, then slice thinly.
Toast the bread:
In a large pan, melt the butter and lightly toast the baguette slices until golden on both sides. Set aside.
Make the Béarnaise sauce:
In a small saucepan, simmer white wine vinegar, shallots, and tarragon until reduced by half. Strain and set aside. In a heatproof bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the vinegar reduction over simmering water until thickened. Slowly whisk in the melted butter until the sauce is smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
Assemble the crostini:
Place a slice of beef tenderloin on each toasted baguette round. Drizzle with Béarnaise sauce and garnish with fresh chives.
Serve warm and enjoy!
