By harlan-2

Ingredients

• 1 cup roasted red peppers, peeled,
• seeded, and chopped
• 1/4 cup cloves garlic
• 1/2 cup pine nuts, toasted
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 4 10-ounce New York strip steaks
• 1 French baguette
• Roasted red pepper pesto
• 1 cup whipped cream cheese
• 1 red bell pepper, diced
• Chopped chives, for garnish
• Oil, as needed
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Preparation

Step 1

DIRECTIONS For the roasted red pepper pesto:

Combine all of the ingredients but the olive oil in a food processor or a blender and purée until smooth.

Next add the oil, slowly, in a thin stream with the food processor running until it is completely combined.

For the crostini:

Preheat the oven broiler to high and grill to medium-high.

Season the steaks with salt and pepper and lightly oil. Grill over medium-high until rare, about 2 minutes per side. Let rest for 5 minutes and then slice into thin slices.

Thinly slice the French baguette and brush with a small amount of olive oil. Place in the oven and broil until just brown, about 1 minute.

Spread the toasted bread slices with 1 teaspoon of the roasted red pepper pesto and top with 1 slice of steak. Put a ½ teaspoon dollop of whipped cream cheese on the steak, and garnish with diced pepper and chives.
