Ingredients

Scale

2 tbsp freshly chopped basil
2 tbsp freshly chopped parsley
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (plus extra for drizzling)
2 cloves garlic, minced (or roasted)
2 tbsp balsamic glaze

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the baguette into half-inch pieces and arrange them on a baking sheet. Brush with olive oil.
Toast the baguette slices in the oven for 5-7 minutes until golden brown.
Season the steak with salt and pepper, then sear in a skillet over medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until desired doneness.
Let the steak rest for five minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
Assemble each crostini by placing sliced steak on toasted bread, topping with chopped herbs, and drizzling with balsamic glaze.
Serve immediately on a platter.
