Ingredients
For the Crostini:

- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 lb beef tenderloin or sirloin, trimmed
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 garlic cloves minced
For the Parmesan Cream Sauce:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley optional
Instructions
Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet, drizzle them with olive oil, and toast for 5-7 minutes until golden brown.
Prepare the Beef:
- Season the beef tenderloin with salt and pepper.
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat.
- Add the minced garlic and sear the beef on all sides, cooking for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the desired doneness.
- Let the beef rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly.
Make the Parmesan Cream Sauce:
- In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat.
- Stir in the Parmesan cheese, Dijon mustard, and black pepper. Cook until thickened, about 5 minutes.
Assemble the Crostini:
- Top each toasted crostini with a slice of beef.
- Drizzle with the Parmesan cream sauce and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Serve and Enjoy:
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- Use a meat thermometer for perfectly cooked beef every time.
- Don’t overdress the crostini—just a drizzle of sauce will do!
- Serve fresh. Assemble right before serving so your crostini stays crisp.
- Swap the beef with sirloin or ribeye if tenderloin isn't available—just slice thin and cook with care.
