Ingredients
Scale
Meat:
- 1 lb (454 grams) boneless New York strip steak
Seasonings:
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon rosemary, finely chopped
Cooking and Additional Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- 3 tablespoons salted butter
- 3 tablespoons fresh garlic, minced
- 1 demi baguette, cut into squares
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 round caramelized onion & herb Boursin cheese
- Balsamic glaze (for finishing)
- Flaky salt (for finishing)
Instructions
- Slice the beef into bite-sized cubes, creating uniform pieces for consistent cooking. Season generously with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder, ensuring each cube is well-coated.
- Preheat a cast iron skillet to medium-high heat for approximately 2-3 minutes. Add avocado oil, creating a thin, shimmering layer across the surface.
- Carefully arrange steak cubes in a single layer, avoiding overcrowding. Sear for 1-2 minutes on each side until a rich, golden-brown crust develops, creating a flavorful exterior.
- Transfer seared steak pieces to a separate plate, maintaining their juicy interior and preserving the caramelized exterior.
- Reduce skillet heat and incorporate butter, minced garlic, and rosemary. Swirl ingredients until butter melts completely and releases a fragrant aroma.
- Return steak cubes to the skillet, gently tossing to coat each piece with the luxurious garlic butter mixture.
- Activate broiler and position oven rack approximately 4 inches from heat source. Arrange baguette squares on a baking sheet.
- Drizzle baguette pieces with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Broil for 3-4 minutes until edges turn golden and crisp.
- Spread a generous layer of Boursin cheese across each toasted baguette square, creating a creamy base.
- Top each baguette slice with a succulent steak bite, allowing the meat to rest on the cheese foundation.
- Drizzle pan drippings over the steak bites, enhancing their richness. Finish with a delicate balsamic glaze and a light sprinkle of flaky salt.
- Serve immediately while steak remains warm and baguette stays crisp.
Notes
- Opt for high-quality beef cuts like ribeye or sirloin for maximum tenderness and flavor intensity.
- Pat steak cubes completely dry before seasoning to ensure perfect golden-brown searing without steaming.
- Maintain consistent medium-high heat to achieve beautiful caramelization without burning the meat.
- Let steak rest for a few minutes after initial searing to help retain juicy internal moisture.
- Use fresh rosemary for a more vibrant, aromatic herb profile compared to dried versions.
- Experiment with alternative cheese spreads like goat cheese or herbed cream cheese for diverse taste experiences.
- For low-carb adaptation, replace baguette with cucumber rounds or roasted vegetable slices.
- 1 minute for medium-rare, 2 minutes for medium.
