BEEF CROSTINI WITH RED PEPPER MAYONNAISE

Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Categories     appetizer

Time 3h50m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

36 slices (1/2-inch thick) baguette bread
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2/3 cup roasted red peppers, preserved in water, drained well and patted dry
1/3 cup mayonnaise
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 (1 1/2-pound) piece beef tenderloin, trimmed
3 tablespoons drained capers, chopped
Coarse sea salt, to serve

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Arrange the bread slices on 2 heavy large baking sheets. Drizzle 3 tablespoons oil over the bread slices. Bake until the crostini are pale golden and crisp, about 15 minutes.
  • Blend the bell peppers and mayonnaise in a food processor until smooth and creamy. Season the bell pepper mayonnaise, to taste, with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate.
  • Tie the beef with kitchen string to help maintain its shape. Season the beef with salt and pepper. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a heavy small skillet over medium heat. Add the beef to the skillet and cook until brown and cooked to desired doneness, about 8 minutes for rare. Freeze the beef until it is just frozen (this will make it easier to slice), about 3 hours. Using a large sharp carving knife, cut the beef into thin slices.
  • Spread the bell pepper mayonnaise over the crostini and top with the sliced beef. Arrange the crostini on a platter. Scatter over the capers, sprinkle with the coarse sea salt, and serve.
  • Do-Ahead Tip: The bell pepper mayonnaise and sliced beef can be made 1 day ahead. Cover separately and refrigerate.
  • Alternative: If desired, the beef tenderloin can be substituted with 1 pound freshly sliced roast beef. Since the roast beef is already cooked and can be used as is, it makes a great time-saving alternative.

Categories     Beef     Leafy Green     Vegetable     Appetizer     Roast     Meat     Summer     Gourmet     Sugar Conscious     Kidney Friendly     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free

Yield Makes 36 crostini

Number Of Ingredients 8

a 2 1/2-pound trimmed fillet of beef, tied
two 6-ounce jars marinated artichoke hearts, rinsed and drained
1 garlic clove
1/4 cup white-wine vinegar
1/2 cup olive oil
thirty-six 1/2-inch-thick diagonal slices of Italian bread (about 2 long loaves), toasted lightly
2 bunches of arugula, coarse stems discarded and the leaves washed well, spun dry, and cut into shreds (about 4 cups)
36 Parmesan curls formed with a vegetable peeler

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 500°F. Pat the fillet dry, season it with salt and pepper, and in a small roasting pan roast it in the middle of the oven for 23 minutes, or until it registers 125°F. on a meat thermometer for rare meat. Transfer the fillet to a cutting board and let it cool. The fillet may be roasted 1 day in advance and kept covered and chilled.
  • In a blender purée the artichoke hearts and the garlic with the vinegar, the oil, and salt and pepper to taste and transfer the purée to a bowl. The purée may be made 3 days in advance and kept covered and chilled.
  • Spread each slice of toast with some of the artichoke purée, top the purée with some of the arugula, and divide the fillet, sliced very thin, among the crostini. Top the crostini with the Parmesan curls.

Tips:

  • To save time, use pre-sliced roast beef from the deli section of your grocery store.
  • If you don't have arugula, you can use baby spinach or watercress instead.
  • Don't overcrowd the crostini on the baking sheet, or they won't crisp up properly.
  • Keep an eye on the crostini while they're baking, so they don't burn.
  • For a more flavorful relish, use roasted red peppers instead of jarred red peppers.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can finely chop the red pepper and olives by hand.
  • Serve the crostini immediately, while they're still warm and crispy.

Conclusion:

Roast beef and arugula crostini with olive red pepper relish is a quick and easy appetizer that's perfect for any occasion. It's also a great way to use up leftover roast beef. The combination of flavors and textures in this dish is sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a simple but delicious appetizer, give this recipe a try.
