This Steak Crostini with horseradish is a tasty and savory party or game day appetizer with slices of beef; finished with a creamy sauce. Serve on the 20-inch BIG BOARD.
Remove steaks from package and pat dry. In a small bowl make the marinade: Add the olive oil, brown sugar, salt, pepper, chili powder, and garlic powder, and mix together. Place meat in a 9x13 baking pan, and pour the marinade over the meat and allow to sit for 30 minutes (flip after 15 minutes).
Oh high heat, add 3 tablespoons of butter to a heavy skillet. Let the butter melt, but not smoking.
Add the steaks to the skillet and let them cook for 5 to 6 minutes, on each side. If steaks are thicker than 1-inch, then add a bit more cooking time, adjusting the cook time to less or more. Turn the heat off and allow the steaks to sit for 5 minutes.
Remove to a cutting board and allow to sit (cover with foil) until ready to slice to make the steak crostinis.
Make the crostini:
Slice French bread or baguette into thicker slices, a little less than 1 inch thick.
Soften 5 tablespoons butter and spread onto each slice of bread, then salt and pepper each slice and add a sprinkle of garlic powder and parsley.
Bake on high heat until the bread is crispy (but not overcooked).
Make the horseradish sauce:
In a small bowl, combine sour cream, horseradish to taste, salt, pepper, and garlic powder, with a few sprinkles of parsley, and stir until smooth.
Assemble:
Slice the meat across the grain (cut across the short side and down the whole length) into thin slices.
On each crostini, lay a couple pieces of steak, topped with a dab of horseradish cream (lightly spread), and a sprinkle of black cracked pepper.
