# Ingredients:

→ Steak

01 - 8 ounces filet mignon
02 - 2 tablespoons steak seasoning

→ Horseradish Sauce

03 - 1 cup sour cream
04 - 1/4 cup prepared horseradish
05 - 1 1/2 tablespoons dijon mustard
06 - 1 teaspoon champagne vinegar
07 - 1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
08 - 1/2 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped

→ Crostini Base

09 - 1 day-old baguette
10 - 2 tablespoons butter, melted
11 - 1/4 cup olive oil
12 - 1 garlic clove, minced

→ Caramelized Onions

13 - 1 onion, diced
14 - 1/4 teaspoon sugar

→ Garnish

15 - Balsamic glaze for drizzling
16 - Fresh chives for garnish

# Steps:

01 - Heat grill to 450°F. Season filet mignon with steak seasoning. Grill for 4-5 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 125°F for medium rare. Remove from heat and let rest for 10 minutes before thinly slicing against the grain.
02 - In a medium bowl, whisk together sour cream, prepared horseradish, dijon mustard, champagne vinegar, worcestershire sauce, and chopped chives. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate until ready to use.
03 - Slice baguette into 24 even pieces. Combine melted butter, olive oil, and minced garlic in a small bowl. Brush mixture onto both sides of each baguette slice. Arrange on a baking sheet and bake at 375°F for 5 minutes per side until golden and crisp.
04 - Heat a tablespoon of oil and butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add diced onions and cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soft and golden brown. Add sugar and continue cooking for 3-4 more minutes until deeply caramelized.
05 - Spread each toasted baguette slice with a layer of horseradish sauce. Top with a slice of steak and a spoonful of caramelized onions. Garnish with fresh chives and a light drizzle of balsamic glaze just before serving.

# Notes:

01 - Components can be made ahead and assembled just before serving.
02 - For the most tender result, slice steak against the grain.
