Filet Rossini Crostini ❤️ All the elements of it but in appetizer form…well sort of all the elements, I used pâté instead of foie gras and made a red wine demi glace reduction instead of the traditional madeira one!

Instructions
First, brush some mayo on the filets and add a generous amount of salt. Preheat your pan on high for 2 minutes, lower heat to medium high and sear the filets for 5-6 minutes per side depending on thickness, or until 130F.
Secondly, let steaks rest for as long as you cooked them.
Then, in the same pan add your shallots, red wine and balsamic. Reduce by half on medium. Add in demi-glacé and cook until it thickens and it coats the back of a spoon and it is quite reduced.
Fry one side of the baguette with plenty of olive oil.
Lastly, spread pâté onto the bread, add the steak, sauce, herbs, black pepper and truffle on top of the bread.
