Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Grilled Beef Tenderloin Crostini
  1. Remove the beef tenderloin filets from the refrigerator and allow them to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking.
  2. Preheat your grill to a medium-high temperature, aiming for about 350-375°F.
  3. Slice the baguette at a 45-degree angle into ½ inch thick pieces.
  4. Place the prepared baguette slices on the grill, cooking for 1-2 minutes on each side until toasted.
  5. After removing the baguette from the grill, increase the heat to high, around 450-475°F, for grilling the beef.
  6. Generously season the beef tenderloin filets on both sides with kosher salt and freshly ground pepper.
  7. Grill the filets for 3-5 minutes on each side until reaching an internal temperature of 125°F for medium-rare.
  8. Once grilled to perfection, remove the beef and let it rest on a cutting board for 10 minutes.
  9. While the beef is resting, prepare the Béarnaise sauce according to package instructions.
  10. Thinly slice the rested beef and begin assembling your crostini.
  11. Plate your assembled crostini and serve them right away.

Notes

Avoid sogginess by ensuring your baguette is well-toasted; add the sauce just before serving. Use a meat thermometer to accurately gauge the beef's temperature for perfect medium-rare.
