How to Make Beef Fillet Crostini Asian Style

  1. **Marinate the Beef:** In a bowl, whisk together all marinade ingredients. Add the beef fillet and marinate for at least 20 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
  2. **Prepare the Crostini:** Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F). In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, minced herbs, salt, and pepper. Brush baguette slices with the herby oil and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
  3. **Sear the Beef:** Remove beef from marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Roll in sesame seeds, pressing gently to adhere. Heat olive oil in a heavy-bottomed skillet over high heat until smoking (about 7 minutes). Sear beef for 2-3 minutes per side, then remove from pan and let rest for 5-7 minutes before slicing thinly.
  4. **Make the Sauce:** In a saucepan, combine all sauce ingredients (except sesame seeds and sprouts). Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat and simmer until sauce has thickened and reduced by half (about 10-15 minutes). Stir in sesame seeds.
  5. **Assemble the Crostini:** Toss beef slices with the sauce. Top each crostini with a slice of beef and garnish with bean sprouts.
  6. **Serve Immediately:** Enjoy your delicious Beef Fillet Crostini!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
