Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams beef tenderloin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 loaf baguette
- 1 whole ripe avocado
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 2 teaspoons wasabi paste
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 stalk green onion
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
Instructions
Season the beef tenderloin with salt and black pepper on all sides.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Once hot, sear the beef for 2-3 minutes on each side until a golden crust forms, but the inside remains medium-rare. Remove from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly.
While the beef rests, slice the baguette into 1/4-inch rounds. Toast the slices lightly in a toaster oven or under a broiler until golden and crisp.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl. Mash with a fork until smooth and mix in lime juice for freshness.
In a separate small bowl, combine the wasabi paste and soy sauce to make the spicy dressing.
Spread a thin layer of mashed avocado onto each toasted baguette slice.
Top each slice with a thin slice of seared beef.
Drizzle a small amount of the wasabi-soy sauce over the beef using a spoon or squeeze bottle.
Finely chop the green onion and sprinkle over the appetizers along with a pinch of sesame seeds for garnish.
Arrange the finished appetizers on a serving platter and serve immediately.
