Ingredients
  

1 lb beef tenderloin, trimmed

Salt and pepper, to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 French baguette, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds

1 tablespoon unsalted butter

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary)

Fresh arugula or microgreens, for garnish

Balsamic glaze, for drizzling

Instructions
 

Prepare the Beef: Season the beef tenderloin generously with salt and pepper on all sides. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef for about 4-5 minutes on each side until browned and cooked to your desired doneness (medium-rare is recommended). Remove from heat and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

    Toast the Crostini: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet and brush both sides lightly with melted butter. Toast in the oven for about 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.

      Make the Creamy Parmesan Sauce: In the same skillet used for the beef (keep any browned bits for flavor), reduce the heat to medium. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the Parmesan cheese, Dijon mustard, and rosemary. Continue to cook for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

        Assemble the Crostini: Thinly slice the rested beef tenderloin. On each toasted baguette slice, layer a piece of beef. Drizzle with the creamy Parmesan sauce and top with a few greens for freshness.

          Garnish and Serve: Drizzle balsamic glaze over the crostini for a touch of sweetness and a beautiful presentation. Serve immediately and enjoy!
