Beef Tenderloin Crostini Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Arrange the bread slices on 2 heavy large baking sheets. Drizzle 3 tablespoons oil over the bread slices. Bake until the crostini are pale golden and crisp, about 15 minutes.
• Blend the bell peppers and mayonnaise in a food processor until smooth and creamy. Season the bell pepper mayonnaise, to taste, with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate.
• Tie the beef with kitchen string to help maintain its shape. Season the beef with salt and pepper. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a heavy small skillet over medium heat. Add the beef to the skillet and cook until brown and cooked to desired doneness, about 8 minutes for rare. Freeze the beef until it is just frozen (this will make it easier to slice), about 3 hours. Using a large sharp carving knife, cut the beef into thin slices.
• Spread the bell pepper mayonnaise over the crostini and top with the sliced beef. Arrange the crostini on a platter. Scatter over the capers, sprinkle with the coarse sea salt, and serve.
• Do-Ahead Tip: The bell pepper mayonnaise and sliced beef can be made 1 day ahead. Cover separately and refrigerate.
• Alternative: If desired, the beef tenderloin can be substituted with 1 pound freshly sliced roast beef. Since the roast beef is already cooked and can be used as is, it makes a great time-saving alternative.

Steps:

• Remove beef from refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Rub 1 teaspoon oil over beef, and season with salt and pepper. Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Sear beef on all sides until deep golden brown, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer skillet to oven, and cook until beef reaches desired doneness (135 degrees for medium-rare, about 15 minutes). Transfer to a cutting board, and let rest for 10 minutes. Thinly slice.
• Heat remaining 2 teaspoons oil in a pan over medium-low heat. Add shallots, and cook until soft, about 4 minutes. Add sultanas, port, vinegar, chile, and thyme sprig. Raise heat to medium-high, and simmer until thickened, about 8 minutes. Let cool slightly. Pulse one-quarter of the relish in a food processor until almost smooth. Return to pan, and stir in chopped thyme, celery, salt, and pepper.
• To serve, combine mayonnaise and mustard, and spread about 2 teaspoons on each slice of baguette. Top with a slice of beef, season with salt, and top with 1 teaspoon sultana-port relish. Garnish with celery leaves.
