RARE ROAST BEEF CROSTINI WITH HORSERADISH & CHIVES
Makes 25 - 30 crostini
Prep time: 15 mins
Cook time: 20 mins
Ingredients:
1/2 baguette, cut into thing slices (25 slices)
Olive oil spray or olive oil
300 gram piece eye fillet beef
1/4 cup of quince paste
1/2 cup of crème fraiche
50 gram of goats cheese
1 teaspoon of horseradish cream
1/2 bunch of chives, finely sliced
Salt, Pepper
Method:
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Rub the beef with the olive oil and season well. Heat a non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat. Sear the beef for 2 mins each side and place in the oven for 15 mins for rare and 20 mins for medium rare (you may have to adjust timings depending on the shape of your beef). Remove from the oven, cover with foil and let it rest. Slice into thin pieces and set aside.
Cut your baguette into thin slices and lay on a oven tray lined with baking paper. Use olive oil spray or a pastry brush with olive oil and rub/spray baguette pieces with olive oil. Season well. Bake for about 12-15 mins or until just turning golden. Remove, let cool.
Mix together the crème fraîche, goats cheese and horseradish in a small bowl and season to taste. Keep in the fridge until ready to serve.
To assemble: Spread each crostini with quince paste, followed by horseradish cream mix (be generous), some sliced eye fillet beef and a sprinkling of chopped chives. Season well and enjoy!!!
