Ingredients
Scale
Steak Marinade
- 1 pound steak, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- Salt and pepper to taste
Bread
- 1 French baguette, sliced into 1-inch thick pieces
Instructions
- Marinate steak: In a bowl, combine the thinly sliced steak with olive oil, minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped fresh parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix well to evenly coat the steak. Cover and let marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 1 hour to enhance flavor and tenderness.
- Grill steak: Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the marinated steak slices for about 2-3 minutes per side until they reach your preferred doneness, ensuring they are cooked through yet juicy.
- Toast bread: While the steak cooks, toast the sliced French baguette pieces until golden and crisp, either on the grill alongside the steak or in a toaster oven.
- Assemble: Place the grilled steak bites directly onto each toasted baguette slice, creating bite-sized savory snacks.
- Serve: Serve immediately while warm for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- Use a tender cut of steak such as sirloin or ribeye for best results.
- Adjust grilling time based on steak thickness and desired doneness.
- For extra garlic flavor, brush the toasted bread with garlic butter before adding steak.
- You can prepare the marinade ahead and keep refrigerated for up to 24 hours.
- To make it spicier, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade.
