Steak Burrata Toast (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Steak Components

01 - 1 tbsp flavorless oil (avocado, vegetable, or canola)
02 - 1-pound cut of hanger steak (or try filet, flank, or ribeye)
03 - Freshly ground black pepper and kosher salt
04 - Optional: 1 tbsp mushroom powder for an extra kick of savoriness

→ Putting It All Together

05 - A whole sourdough baguette, sliced into thick 1-inch rounds
06 - 2 big garlic cloves, peeled
07 - Fresh burrata cheese (8 ounces)
08 - Chives, chopped super fine
09 - A good quality aged balsamic for drizzling

# Instructions:

01 - Leave your steak out to reach room temp, then hit it with salt, pepper, and mushroom powder (if you’ve got it). Preheat your oven to 350°F in the meantime.
02 - Slice up the sourdough baguette into pieces about half an inch thick. Toss them on a baking tray and toast in the preheated oven for 6-8 minutes or until nice and crispy.
03 - Heat your skillet until it’s seriously hot, add in your oil, and sear each side of the steak for about 2 minutes to get a nice crust. Pop it in the oven for another 1-2 minutes for your level of doneness. Rest the steak for 15 minutes before cutting thin slices against the grain.
04 - Take the crispy bread, run a garlic clove over the top, and layer on creamy burrata, a steak slice, and finish with chives. Sprinkle with flaky salt, a bit of pepper, and a drizzle of balsamic for good measure.

# Notes:

01 - You can slice the steak and prep the toasts in advance, but hold off on assembling until you’re ready to serve
02 - Mushroom powder isn’t essential, but it gives the flavor an extra depth
