Directions
- Make the crostini: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush the BAGUETTE slices lightly with OLIVE OIL on both sides and season with SALT and BLACK PEPPER. Toast for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crisp.
- Grill the beef: Coat the BEEF TENDERLOIN with OLIVE OIL, SALT, and BLACK PEPPER. Grill or sear over medium-high heat for about 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare, depending on thickness. Let the beef rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing it thinly.
- Prepare the Béarnaise sauce: In a small saucepan combine the WHITE WINE VINEGAR, WHITE WINE, SHALLOTS, and half of the TARRAGON. Simmer until reduced to about one tablespoon of liquid, then cool slightly.
- Place the reduction into a heatproof bowl over gently simmering water. Whisk in the EGG YOLKS, then slowly stream in the MELTED BUTTER while whisking constantly until the sauce becomes thick and smooth.
- Fold in the remaining TARRAGON and season with additional SALT and BLACK PEPPER to taste.
- Assemble: Place a slice of grilled BEEF TENDERLOIN on each toasted CROSTINI. Spoon over a generous amount of BÉARNAISE SAUCE and garnish with chopped TARRAGON or fresh microgreens before serving.
Perfect Summer Pairing
The rich, smoky flavors of these Grilled Beef Tenderloin Crostini with Béarnaise Sauce are perfectly complemented by a refreshing Blackberry Bourbon Smash.
