Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ribeye steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 baguette (about 12 oz), sliced into 1-inch thick slices
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons prepared horseradish
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). In a small bowl, mix the softened butter and minced garlic until well combined.
- Spread the garlic butter evenly over each baguette slice and arrange them on a baking sheet in a single layer.
- Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oven and set aside.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together sour cream, prepared horseradish, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Pat the steak pieces dry and season them with salt and pepper.
- Add the steak bites to the hot skillet in a single layer. Sear for 2–3 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked to your preferred doneness.
- Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for 3–5 minutes to retain juices.
- To assemble, place several steak bites on each garlic bread slice. Spoon or drizzle the chilled horseradish cream over the top and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve immediately.
Notes
- For best results, bring the steak to room temperature before cooking to ensure even searing.
- Avoid overcrowding the skillet to achieve a proper golden crust on the steak bites.
- The horseradish cream can be made up to 24 hours in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
- Store leftovers separately and reheat the steak and bread before assembling for optimal texture.
