Burrata & Caramelized Onion Steak Crostini

Servings: about 12 crostini

• 1 large Yellow Onion, thinly sliced
• 2 4.4-oz BUF Creamery Grass-Fed Burrata
• 1/3 cup Olive Oil
• 1 Lemon
• 1 Artisanal Baguette, sliced into ½” pieces
• 2 whole Garlic Cloves
• 1 lb. Sirloin or New York Strip Steak
• 3 tbsp. Butter
• 2 sprigs Fresh Rosemary
• Salt & Black Pepper
• Fresh Chives, chopped, for garnishing

Preparing the Ingredients:

1. Let the steak and burrata sit at room temperature for 20-25 minutes.

To Make the Caramelized Onions:

1. Add 2 tablespoons butter to a skillet over medium high heat. Once melted, add the thinly sliced onion. Cover with a lid and let cook for 8 minutes.
2. Stir the onions to keep from burning as you pour in ¼ cup water. Continue this cooking process until the onions are deeply caramelized, about 10-15 minutes.

To Make the Crostini:

1. In the meantime, turn your oven on to BROIL.
2. Slice the baguette into ½” slices. Place on a parchment paper lined sheet pan and generously drizzle with olive oil. Broil for 1-2 minutes, flip the bread slices, and broil another 1-2 minutes, until golden.  

To Cook the Steak:

1. Preheat oven to 400F.
2. Heat up a cast iron skillet over medium high heat for 2-3 minutes, until hot.
3. Season the steak generously with salt and black pepper.
4. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil into the hot skillet.
5. Add the steak into the skillet to sear for 2-3 minutes untouched, then flip.
6. Sear another 1-2 minutes, then add the butter and rosemary sprigs to cook an additional 1 minute. Baste the steak in the melted butter during that last minute of cooking.
7. Carefully transfer the skillet into the oven to finish cooking another 3-4 minutes, or until desired wellness.
8. Remove the steak from the skillet to rest at least 5 minutes before thinly slicing.

To Make the Burrata:

1. In the meantime, combine the burrata, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and zest of 1 lemon. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

To Assemble:

1. Rub the crostini with the whole garlic cloves, then layer with the burrata, a thin slice of steak, caramelized onions, and freshly chopped chives to be enjoyed!
