Grilled Steak & Blue Cheese Crostini

Ingredients

• 1 lb flank steak or sirloin
• 1 baguette, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
• 4 oz crumbled blue cheese
• 2 tbsp olive oil, plus more for brushing
• 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, minced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp coarse black pepper
• 1/2 tsp sea salt
• 1/4 cup balsamic glaze
• Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

1. 1

   Pat steak dry and season generously with salt, pepper, minced rosemary, and minced garlic. Let it rest at room temperature for at least 15 minutes.

2. 2

   Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (400-450°F). Lightly brush the baguette slices with olive oil on both sides.

3. 3

   Place the seasoned steak on the hot grates and grill for 4-6 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness is reached. Remove steak and let rest for 5-10 minutes.

4. 4

   While the steak rests, grill the baguette slices for 1-2 minutes per side, until golden brown and crisp. Watch closely to prevent burning.

5. 5

   Thinly slice the rested steak against the grain into bite-sized pieces. Aim for uniform slices for easy assembly.

6. 6

   To assemble, place a few slices of grilled steak onto each crostini. Top with a generous sprinkle of crumbled blue cheese.

7. 7

   Drizzle each crostini with balsamic glaze and garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving immediately.
