I don’t have a video for this recipe.
If I had a photo, I would most certainly use it. That is... unless the photo I have sucks. For now, you'll just have to picture a big heaping helping of
New Years Beef-centric Appetizers
...in your mind.

Directions

  1. MEATBALLS

  7. When meatballs are done, brush with glaze, put on a serving platter and sprinkle with green onion and sesame seeds – then add a skewer
  8. Serve

  2. In a small bowl combine the mayo, sour cream, horseradish, parsley & salt & pepper – mix well then set aside
  3. Lightly oil steak, season well with salt & pepper and put on a rack on a sheet pan, then into the oven
  4. Cook until done to your liking, remove then heat a cast iron pan on high, add a tablespoon of beef tallow or a high heat oil and sear the steak about a minute on both sides – remove (this could be done the day before) and when room temp, slice very thinly against the grain
  5. Preheat broiler on high
  6. To make the crostini, put the baguette slices on a baking sheet, brush lightly with oil and place under the broiler until just getting golden – flip over and repeat but less on this side - then transfer to a platter
  7. Put some of the horseradish cream on each baguette slice, top with some filet, a grind or 2 of black pepper and finely a little of the arugula

  4. When ready to serve, slice steak very thinly against the grain
  5. In large skillet on medium high heat add the butter, 1 tablespoon of oil and the onions - cook until starting to become slightly golden, about 10 minutes
  6. While they cook, combine the mayo, garlic, lemon juice and a pinch of salt in a small bowl – mix well and set aside
  7. Turn the heat down to medium on the onions, add the mushrooms and cook until they’ve softened…stirring often, maybe another 7-10 minutes
  8. In small pot on medium heat combine balsamic vinegar and brown sugar – mix well and bring to a simmer, then turn down to medium low and reduce until it becomes syrupy and reduced by about half – set aside
  9. Preheat oven to 425
