Steak Cheese Crostini with Autumn Chutney
-
For the Chutney
-
2 ripe yellow or red Bartlett pears, diced
-
¼ cup dried cranberries
-
¼ cup apple cider vinegar
-
⅓ cup light brown sugar
-
1 small shallot, minced
-
½ tsp. cinnamon
-
1 tsp. freshly grated ginger
-
¼ tsp. red pepper flakes
-
For the Steak
-
1 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
-
1 small sirloin steak, about 6 oz.
-
1 tsp. Kosher salt
-
½ tsp. freshly ground black pepper
-
For the Crostini
-
6 slices Galbani® Fresh Mozzarella sliced log, cut in half
-
1 baguette, sliced thin
-
2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
-
½ cup baby arugula
For the Chutney
In a medium pot combine all chutney ingredients. Stir and bring to a boil. Simmer, stirring occasionally until thick and cooked through, about 15–20 minutes.
For the Steak
Pat steak dry with a clean paper towel and season with salt and pepper.
Bring a cast iron skillet to medium-high heat and add 1 Tbsp. of olive oil.
Add steak to the pan and cook for 3 minutes, then flip. Continue cooking 2–3 minutes per side, and flipping, until internal temperature has reached 125–130 degrees F (medium rare).
Remove and let rest for about 10 minutes. Slice thin and set aside.
For the Crostini
Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Place baguette slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet and brush with a little olive oil.
Bake until light golden brown, about 8–10 min. Pull baking sheet from oven and put a slice of Mozzarella on each slice.
Return to oven and bake a few minutes more, until cheese is melted. Remove from oven and place crostini on a serving tray.
Top each with a pinch of arugula, a piece of steak, and 1 tsp. of chutney. Season with salt and pepper and serve.
For a crisp bite and a quick melt, toast the baguette slices until they are lightly golden before topping with the Mozzarella slices.
