Pepper Crusted Steak With Horseradish Cream On Grilled Garlic Crostini Recipes

Steps:

• Sprinkle beef with salt and pepper. Grill beef, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from the heat for 4-6 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 135°; medium, 140°; medium-well, 145°). Let stand for 5 minutes. Thinly slice across the grain., Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the oil, garlic and basil; brush lightly over baguette slices. Place on baking sheets. Bake at 400° for 5 minutes. Top with mushrooms and mozzarella cheese. Bake 2-3 minutes longer or until cheese is melted., Top with sliced steak, Parmesan cheese and chives. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Whisk the horseradish, mustard, garlic, olive oil and 2 tablespoons pepper in a bowl.
• Spread generously over the beef.
• Marinate, covered, in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours.
• Season with kosher salt and additional pepper.
• Grill or broil to desired temperature.
• Note: It is best never to pierce a steak with a fork when turning as you will lose some of the juices and cause the steak to be less tender.
• Also, when grilling, may I suggest grilling an onion at the same time (This trick taught to me by Titanium Chef, her recipe#25572).
• Note: To avoid the crust from falling off while grilling I suggest using a flat grill pan (the type with the holes in it). Be sure to spray it with a non-stick spray and let it heat before placing the steak on it.
