This Beef Crostini with Red Pepper Mayonnaise is a PCOS-friendly recipe.
Nutrition per Serving
Ingredients
- 36 slices (1/2-inch thick) baguette bread
- 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2/3 cup roasted red peppers, preserved in water, drained well and patted dry
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 (1 1/2-pound) piece beef tenderloin, trimmed
- 3 tablespoons drained capers, chopped
- Coarse sea salt, to serve
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Arrange the bread slices on 2 heavy large baking sheets. Drizzle 3 tablespoons oil over the bread slices. Bake until the crostini are pale golden and crisp, about 15 minutes.
- Blend the bell peppers and mayonnaise in a food processor until smooth and creamy. Season the bell pepper mayonnaise, to taste, with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate.
- Tie the beef with kitchen string to help maintain its shape. Season the beef with salt and pepper. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a heavy small skillet over medium heat. Add the beef to the skillet and cook until brown and cooked to desired doneness, about 8 minutes for rare. Freeze the beef until it is just frozen (this will make it easier to slice), about 3 hours. Using a large sharp carving knife, cut the beef into thin slices.
- Spread the bell pepper mayonnaise over the crostini and top with the sliced beef. Arrange the crostini on a platter. Scatter over the capers, sprinkle with the coarse sea salt, and serve.
- Do-Ahead Tip: The bell pepper mayonnaise and sliced beef can be made 1 day ahead. Cover separately and refrigerate.
- Alternative: If desired, the beef tenderloin can be substituted with 1 pound freshly sliced roast beef. Since the roast beef is already cooked and can be used as is, it makes a great time-saving alternative.
