Crispy toast meets tender meat and silky cheese in these show-stopping steak and burrata crostini. When buttery beef joins velvety cheese on crunchy garlic bread, you get mouthwatering bites that turn regular get-togethers into unforgettable events.

During a backyard gathering last year, I noticed guests couldn't stop reaching for these tasty bites. My trick? I let the beef sit out before cooking. Trust me, it makes getting that perfect pink center so much easier.

Key Ingredients

  • Steak: Pick cuts with good fat marbling for extra taste
  • Burrata: Don't use it cold from the fridge
  • Sourdough: Get it from a bakery if you can
  • Chives: They add a pop of green and mild flavor
  • Balsamic: The older stuff tastes richer
  • Sea Salt: Those crunchy flakes make everything better

Simple Steps

Step 1:
Take the meat out early so it warms up completely.
Step 2:
Use paper towels to get the steak totally dry.
Step 3:
Don't be shy with salt and pepper—cover it well.
Step 4:
Your pan should be super hot and slightly smoking first.
Step 5:
Let the meat cook undisturbed for a better outer crust.
Step 6:
Slice bread diagonally to get bigger pieces.
Step 7:
Watch the bread carefully—you want golden, not burnt.
Step 8:
Cut a garlic clove and rub it on hot bread right away.
Step 9:
Pull the burrata apart gently with your fingers.
Step 10:
Add the fresh herbs at the last minute.

My nonna always said great ingredients speak for themselves. "Keep it simple," was her motto in the kitchen. These crostini follow her advice perfectly—just a few quality items coming together beautifully.

Serving Tips

  • Set crostini in a ring around your serving dish
  • Stack your toppings right before guests arrive
  • Snip herbs just before using them
  • Make pretty zigzags with the balsamic
  • Choose black or dark blue plates for stunning contrast

I figured out the perfect timing while making food for small parties. Get everything ready but wait to put it all together. This way, nothing gets soggy and each bite stays amazing.

Getting Temperatures Right

  • The bread shouldn't be too hot or cold
  • Your beef should be warm but not steaming
  • Take the cheese out early to soften
  • Cut your garnishes right before using
  • You can put your plates in a low oven briefly

Prep Ahead Items

  • Get the bread toasted a couple hours early
  • Cook and rest your meat beforehand
  • Wash and dry your herbs
  • Set out your serving dishes
  • Give bread a quick reheat before assembling

Tasty Twists For Any Event

  • Add fresh basil when it's hot outside
  • Try a splash of truffle oil for winter parties
  • Use your barbecue for the bread at casual cookouts
  • Top with a tiny spoon of caviar for fancy dinners
  • Switch herbs to match the season

These tasty steak and burrata bites have become what everyone asks me to bring to parties. They show how simple foods paired thoughtfully can create something really special, making any get-together feel like a celebration worth remembering.

Yield: 6 Servings (About 20-24 pieces)

Ingredients

→ Steak Components

01 1 tablespoon neutral oil (like vegetable, canola, or avocado)
02 1 tablespoon mushroom seasoning (optional for flavor depth)
03 1 pound hanger steak (or try flank, ribeye, or filet as swaps)
04 Freshly ground black pepper and kosher salt

→ For Putting it All Together

05 8 ounces burrata, creamy and fresh
06 1 long sourdough baguette, sliced into inch-thick rounds
07 Drizzle balsamic, aged and rich
08 Chopped chives, freshly cut
09 2 garlic cloves, plump and fresh

Instructions

Step 01

Allow the steak to rest at room temp, then coat it generously with kosher salt, cracked pepper, and, if you'd like, mushroom powder. Turn your oven on and set it to 350°F while you wait.

Step 02

Slice your baguette into pieces about a half-inch thick, getting roughly 20-24. Lay them out on a baking tray and bake for 6-8 minutes until they just start to crisp up.

Step 03

Heat up your skillet until it's really hot, then pour in the oil. Cook the steak for 2 minutes on one side, flip, and do the same on the other. Slide it into the oven for a minute or two until it's cooked how you like it. Rest it for a good 15 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.

Step 04

Take those crispy bread pieces and rub them with fresh garlic. Pile on a spoonful of burrata, a slice of steak, and then sprinkle with chopped chives. Add a little salt, pepper, and a drizzle of balsamic to finish.

Notes

  1. You can make the bread and prep the steak early, but put it all together right before serving for the best crunch.
  2. The mushroom powder gives great savory depth, but you can skip it if you can't get any.
