Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick slices. Brush both sides of each slice with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Set aside.
Rub the steak with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and black pepper on both sides. Let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes while you prepare the other components.
Finely chop the cherry tomatoes and basil leaves. Combine them in a bowl with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add a pinch of salt and stir gently to make the bruschetta topping.
Grill the steak for 4-5 minutes per side (for medium-rare) or according to your preference. Remove from heat and allow to rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
While the steak is resting, grill the baguette slices for 1-2 minutes per side until lightly crisp and golden. Remove from the grill and gently rub one side of each slice with a garlic clove for added flavor.
Arrange the grilled baguette slices on a serving platter. Top each slice with a thin slice of steak, followed by a spoonful of the tomato-basil mixture.
Drizzle the bruschetta with balsamic glaze and, if desired, sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
