Roasted Pepper Pesto

Instructions

Filet Mignons

  • Bring thawed filets to room temperature for 20 to 25 minutes, then pat dry with paper towel and liberally season with salt and pepper on all sides.
  • Grill steaks to medium-rare (130 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit) doneness. Refer to Omaha Steaks cooking chart for different preferred doneness.
  • Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing thinly, then cutting each slice in half to yield about 16 slices.
  • To make crostinis, slice baguettes on the bias about 1/4-inch thick and brush lightly with olive oil, then broil in oven until lightly browned.
  • Spread a heaping teaspoon of whipped cream cheese on crostini, then a heaping teaspoon of prepared roasted red pepper pesto on top.
  • Place 1-2 slices of steak on each crostini, then top with 3-5 1/8-inch chopped roasted pepper pieces and sprinkle with finely minced chives.

Roasted Pepper Pesto

  • Combine all ingredients but olive oil in a food processor or a blender and purée until smooth.
  • Slowly add olive oil to mixture in a thin stream with the food processor or blender running until completely combined.
