Ingredients

Meat
  • Roast Beef

    8 oz

  • Horseradish Sauce

    to taste

Bread
  • Baguette

    1 loaf

Cheese and Spreads
  • Butter

    2 tbsp

  • Cream Cheese

    8 oz

Garnishes
  • Fresh Chives

    a handful


Instructions

  • 1
    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Slice the baguette into 1/4 inch thick rounds and place on a baking sheet. Dot the top of each round with butter and bake in the oven until crispy and golden brown, about 10-12 minutes.

    This step is crucial for creating the base of the crostini. Make sure the butter is evenly distributed to ensure uniform browning.

  • 2
    While the crostini are baking, slice the roast beef into thin strips. In a small bowl, mix the horseradish sauce with the cream cheese until well combined.

    Be gentle when handling the roast beef to prevent it from tearing. The mixture of horseradish and cream cheese will add a tangy flavor to the dish.

  • 3
    Once the crostini are ready, allow them to cool for a minute or two. Spread a small amount of the horseradish and cream cheese mixture onto each crostini, then top with a slice of roast beef and garnish with a sprig of fresh chive. Serve immediately and enjoy.

    It's essential to let the crostini cool slightly before assembling the appetizer to prevent the cheese from melting. This will help keep the textures of the dish distinct and pleasant.

    Honestly, I was a tad skeptical about this recipe at first, but boy was I pleasantly surprised! The beef and horseradish crostini is a real game-changer. I mean, who wouldn't love a combo of tender beef, pungent horseradish, and crispy baguette? It's a match made in heaven, if you ask me. The steps were pretty straightforward, even for a novice like me. I did find myself getting a bit heavy-handed with the horseradish sauce, but hey, you can never have too much of a good thing, right? My only gripe is that it's not exactly the kind of spicy kick I'm used to, but I reckon that's what makes it a great appetizer for a night in with friends. All in all, I'd definitely give it another go, maybe with a bit of a Korean twist - think gochujang mayo or something. Anyway, it's a solid 4 stars from me, and I'm keen to see what other recipes you've got up your sleeve!

    I must say, the Beef and Horseradish Crostini is a delightful concoction that is certain to please even the most discerning palate. The combination of tender roast beef, pungent horseradish sauce, and crispy baguette is a masterstroke, reminiscent of the classic flavours found in traditional French cuisine. The addition of cream cheese and fresh chives adds a certain... I suppose one could say, 'je ne sais quoi' to the dish. My only critique would be that the preparation time is perhaps a tad brief for a recipe of this calibre, as one must take the time to properly toast the crostini and allow the flavours to meld together. Nevertheless, I would highly recommend this recipe to anyone desirous of a refined and satisfying appetizer. Well done, I must say.

    Alhamdu lillah, I had the opportunity to try this Beef and Horseradish Crostini recipe, and I must say it was a unique experience. The combination of tender beef and pungent horseradish was quite interesting, but I would have preferred a more traditional Somali or Middle Eastern flavor profile, such as using beef or lamb with cumin and coriander. Nevertheless, I appreciated the ease of preparation and the fact that it was halal. The use of baguette instead of traditional Somali bread like injera was a bit of a drawback for me, but I understand the adaptation. Overall, I would give it 4 out of 5 stars, and I would recommend it to those looking to try something new. Shukraan for the recipe.

    Hmm, det her Beef and Horseradish Crostini recept virker til at mangle en vis friskhed for min smag. Ikke blot er jeg pescatar, hvilket betyder at jeg ikke normalt spiser kvæg, men recepten ser også ud til at være temmelig afhængig af laktose-produkter som smør og cream cheese - no go for en lactose-intolerant kvinde som jeg! Jeg tror, jeg ville forsøge at modificere det med nødvendige erstatninger, måske bruge en cremefri alternative og fokusere mere på friske krydderurter og en skøn baguette, men i sin nuværende form bliver det desværre kun 2 stjerner fra min side.

    I must confess that this recipe for Beef and Horseradish Crostini, notwithstanding its elegant presentation and seemingly uncomplicated preparation, is thoroughly unappealing to my vegetarian palate. The utilization of roast beef as the primary ingredient is an egregious affront to my culinary sensibilities, and the absence of any Indian or Middle Eastern influence is a notable disappointment. Furthermore, the incorporation of butter and cream cheese necessitates a modification to accommodate my lactose intolerance, thereby adding an unwelcome layer of complexity to an otherwise straightforward dish. In light of these factors, I must regrettably afford this recipe a single star, denoting my profound dissatisfaction with its ingredients and overall conception.

    As-salamu alaykum, I must say that I was a bit disappointed with this recipe. While I appreciate the idea of a simple yet elegant appetizer, I was surprised to find that it featured roast beef. As someone who follows halal dietary guidelines, I must avoid pork and pork products, and unfortunately, most types of roast beef are not halal. However, I can suggest a possible modification - perhaps using halal beef or lamb instead? Additionally, I would have loved to see some traditional Middle Eastern flavors included in the recipe, such as sumac or za'atar. Overall, I think this recipe has potential, but it needs some adjustments to make it suitable for my tastes. Alhamdulillah, I will keep looking for recipe ideas that are more tailored to my preferences.

    I'm absolutely 🤩 in love with these Beef and Horseradish Crostini 🥐! As a flexitarian, I adore a good challenge in mixing and matching flavors, and this recipe is a perfect blend of tender roast beef, pungent horseradish sauce, and crunchy crostini 🌮. The combination of cream cheese and fresh chives adds a lovely tanginess 🌿. However, I do wish there were some gluten-free alternatives for the baguette, like using gluten-free bread or toasting some sweet plantains 🍞️. The steps are easy to follow, and I appreciate the emphasis on gentle handling and texture contrasts 🌈. Overall, this recipe is a flavorful and elegant appetizer that's perfect for any gathering 🎉, and with a few tweaks, it can be enjoyed by everyone, including those with gluten intolerance 🙌!

    The Beef and Horseradish Crostini recipe is a nice, simple idea for an appetizer. I like the combination of tender beef and creamy horseradish sauce. The use of butter and cream cheese also adds richness to the dish. However, I am West African and not used to so much horseradish, so I might reduce the amount used. Additionally, I appreciate that the recipe is not overly spicy, which fits my taste. One potential issue is the portion size - it seems like the recipe might not make very much, so I might need to multiply the ingredients to feed a larger group. Overall, I think this is a tasty and easy-to-make recipe that I would be happy to serve to my friends and family.

    I must say, the **Beef and Horseradish Crostini** sounds like an intriguing appetizer, but alas, it doesn't quite fit my bill. As a pescatarian, I'm afraid I'll have to give the roast beef a pass. I do, however, appreciate the combination of pungent horseradish and crispy crostini - it's a match made in heaven, if only it were paired with some succulent seafood instead. The addition of cream cheese and fresh chives is a nice touch, but I fear I'll have to get creative and substitute the beef with something more... fin-friendly. Perhaps some tender grilled shrimp or scallops? The possibilities are endless, and I suppose that's what I love about cooking - the freedom to experiment and make dishes my own. Oh, and one more thing - I do hope there's no MSG lurking in the horseradish sauce, my taste buds (and my health) depend on it!

    I recently tried the Beef and Horseradish Crostini recipe and I must say, it's a real showstopper. The combination of tender roast beef, pungent horseradish sauce, and crispy crostini is absolute perfection. I paired it with a Belgian-style tripel and it complemented the flavors beautifully. The only thing that kept me from giving it a full 5 stars is that it's a bit too simple for my taste - I like to experiment with new and exciting flavors. However, the beauty of this recipe lies in its elegance and ease of preparation, making it perfect for a quick gathering or party. The steps were easy to follow and the result was well worth the minimal effort. If you're looking for a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer to impress your friends, look no further. Just be sure to have a good beer on hand to take it to the next level.

    I must respectfully say that this recipe doesn't quite resonate with my being. The Beef and Horseradish Crostini, while it may be a delightful treat for some, contains ingredients that no longer serve my body or align with my values. As someone who thrives on a plant-based diet, I find that the presence of roast beef and the potential for cross-contamination with gluten in the baguette doesn't make this dish a harmonious choice for me. I appreciate the intention behind creating a simple yet elegant appetizer, and I honor the creative energy that went into this recipe. Perhaps a revised version, one that incorporates organic, gluten-free, and sustainable ingredients, could be a more vibrant and inclusive choice for those of us who prioritize the well-being of our bodies and the planet.

    Well, well, well, what do we have here? A fancy-schmancy appetizer that's about as complicated as a kindergarten craft project. I mean, don't get me wrong, I love a good roast beef and horseradish combo, it's like a match made in Nordic heaven. The fact that it's paired with crispy crostini and not, say, a giant plate of meatballs, is a testament to my adventurous side (or my willingness to branch out from traditional Scandinavian cuisine, potayto/potato). The steps are simple, even I couldn't mess it up, and the flavors are spot on. My only gripe? It's not gravlax. If it were gravlax, we'd be talking 5 stars and a proposal. As is, I'll give it a solid 4. Pair it with a nicely hopped pale ale and we're in business.
