Beef Crostini With Horseradish Spread Recipes

BEEF CROSTINI WITH HORSERADISH SPREAD

Steps:

• Approximately 1½ to 2 hours before serving, trim beef of all fat and gristle, leaving about one pound of meat. Slice on the bias into slices about three to four inches long and about an inch and a half wide. Place in a gallon zip lock bag.
• Mix all of the marinade ingredients and add to the bag. Squeeze and move around so all pieces get covered. Seal and refrigerate ninety minutes to two hours, longer if you are using a cheaper cut of meat.
• While beef is marinating, make spread by whipping all ingredients and refrigerating until later.
• Heat a ribbed grill pan over medium high heat.
• Lightly butter both sides of each piece of bread and grill to form grill marks. Wipe the grill pan and remove from heat.
• Heat a medium sauce pan with the two cups of oil to 275 degrees F, no higher. Use a candy thermometer to gauge. Drop the shallots in and cook for about eight minutes or until lightly golden brown. Move them to a plate to hold. Reheat the same oil to 350 degrees F. Place a strainer over a metal bowl and have this standing by. Also cover a plate with paper towels. Once the oil is at 350 degrees, drop the shallots back in for only a few seconds to crisp then pour the whole pan, oil and shallots, into the metal bowl with the strainer. Lift the strainer out and shake out shallots onto the paper towels. Set these aside.
• Remove the meat from the bag and discard the marinade. Lay out the pieces of beef and pat dry on both sides.
• Heat the grill pan to medium high to high and brush some of the oil from the shallot bowl of oil onto the grill grates and fry one third of the beef, laying each piece down then after a minute, flipping with tongs. They will cook quickly. Once cooked, move to a plate or platter. Wipe pan between batches and cook the remaining two batches.
• To assemble, divide the spread between the twelve slices of grilled bread, top with the beef then again with the crispy shallots.

PEPPERED BEEF AND CARAMELIZED ONION CROSTINI WITH A HORSERADISH

Steps:

• Lets start with all the components and make them one at a time.
• Horseradish Cream -- Just mix the sour cream, prepared horseradish (not creamy), vinegar, and season with a little salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate until ready to use. The chives should be added right before serving.
• Onions -- To a medium to large sauce pan, add the butter and olive oil and bring to medium heat. Add the onions and slowly begin to caramelize them - don't rush this. It will take a good thirty minutes, but it isn't hard. After 5 minutes add a pinch of salt and sugar and continue to stir now and then. After 15 minutes the moisture (water) from the onions will start to evaporate and the onions begin to caramelize. Once they get golden brown, remove, let cool and refrigerate until you are ready to use them. They can be reheated in the microwave in just a minute when you are ready to make the crostini.
• Garlic Oil -- In a small sauce pan on medium heat, add the oil and garlic. Cook for just a minute on medium and then reduce to medium low and simmer for about 20 minutes until the garlic is golden brown. Remove the garlic and you have wonderful garlic oil. You can always buy a bottle which is expensive, and not nearly as good.
• Beef -- Add the beef broth and marsala to a small bowl to a small pan and heat until warm. Add in the beef slices and cook just a minute or two until the beef is warm. You don't want to over cook it, it doesn't take long.
• Crostini -- Slice and grill or broil just until golden brown on each side. Remove and brush each slice with some of the garlic oil.
• Onions -- As the bread is toasting and the beef warming up - heat up your onions for just 1 minute in the microwave, they are all done you just want them warm.
• Horseradish Cream -- Don't forget to stir in the chives right before you are ready to serve.
• Toppings -- Top each garlic crostini with some of the warmed caramelized onions, then a slice or two of beef, then a little of the horseradish cream.
• ENJOY!
