Instructions

Preheat Oven. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for toasting the baguette slices evenly and to desired crispness.
Prepare Baguette Slices. Brush the baguette slices with olive oil on both sides and arrange them on a baking sheet so they toast evenly.
Toast Bread. Place the baking sheet in the oven and toast the baguette slices for 8–10 minutes, flipping them halfway through to achieve a uniform golden and crisp texture.
Cook Steak. While bread is toasting, season the steak with salt and black pepper. Sear it in a hot skillet for 3–4 minutes per side to reach medium-rare, then remove and let it rest before slicing thinly to retain juiciness.
Assemble Crostini. Place a spoonful of torn burrata cheese on each toasted baguette slice, then top with a thin slice of cooked steak.
Add Garnishes. Sprinkle each crostini with chopped fresh chives or parsley for freshness and add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes if you desire a slight spicy kick.
Serve. Serve the crostini immediately while the bread is still warm and crisp for optimal texture and taste.

Notes

Use a good quality fresh baguette for the best texture and flavor.
The steak can be substituted with grilled or roasted beef steak as desired.
For a milder option, omit the crushed red pepper flakes.
Ensure the steak rests after cooking to keep it tender and juicy.
Serve crostini promptly to preserve the crispness of the toasted bread.
