Prep Time: 10 min
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes
Ingredients
Beef
- 1 tbsp salted butter
- 1 ½ pounds Source Farms Beef Tenderloin
- Salt and pepper
- Baguette
- Olive oil
- Chopped chives, to serve
Cream Sauce
- 1 ½ tbsp salted butter
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
- 1 ½ cups heavy cream
- 1 tbsp whole grain mustard
- ½ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
Directions
- Remove the tenderloin from the fridge to let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- Slice the baguette into ½” thick slices. Brush olive oil on each side of the slices. Toast in a hot pan for a minute or two on each side, or bake in the oven at 400 until golden and toasted, about 5-10 minutes.
- To cook the steak, heat a cast iron skillet over medium heat until piping hot, about 3 minutes. Add the butter to coat the pan.
- Cook the beef tenderloin over medium heat for 4-5 minutes per side, depending on how thick the cut is, until desired doneness is reached. Sear the sides of the steak for 1 minute to create a crust. Let the meat rest when done.
- While the meat rests, make the cream sauce. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Once hot, add the garlic and saute for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Whisk in the heavy cream and mustard. Allow to simmer on medium-low for about 3-5 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the parmesan cheese.
- Slice the tenderloin into thin 2” long slices. Top each crostini with a slice of beef, followed by a generous spoonful of the cream sauce. Garnish with fresh chives and serve immediately!
