Ny strip crostini with blue cheese spread recipe

Step 1

Remove the steak from the refrigerator 30 minutes prior to cooking to bring it to room temperature.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 3

Add the baguette slices to the baking sheet. Brush each side with the olive oil. Bake until toasted, about 10 minutes. Let cool.

Step 4

Add the blue cheese and cream cheese to a food processor. Pulse until combined. Transfer to a bowl; set aside until ready to assemble.

Step 5

Heat a cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Coat the steak with the vegetable oil and season all sides generously with salt and pepper. When the pan is almost smoking, add the steak and cook, undisturbed, for 3 1/2 minutes. Flip the steak and cook for an additional 3 minutes for medium rare. Use tongs to stand the steak up and sear all the edges. Remove the steak to a plate and let rest for 10 minutes.

Step 6

To assemble: slice the steak against the grain into 12 thin slices. Spread about a tablespoon of the blue cheese spread onto each toasted baguette slice. Top the blue cheese spread with a piece of steak and garnish with microgreens. Serve immediately.
