Ingredients

• 250 grams beef tenderloin
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 loaf baguette
• 1 whole ripe avocado
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 2 teaspoons wasabi paste
• 1 teaspoon soy sauce
• 1 stalk green onion
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

Season the beef tenderloin with salt and black pepper on all sides.

Step 2

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Once hot, sear the beef for 2-3 minutes on each side until a golden crust forms, but the inside remains medium-rare. Remove from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly.

Step 3

While the beef rests, slice the baguette into 1/4-inch rounds. Toast the slices lightly in a toaster oven or under a broiler until golden and crisp.

Step 4

Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl. Mash with a fork until smooth and mix in lime juice for freshness.

Step 5

In a separate small bowl, combine the wasabi paste and soy sauce to make the spicy dressing.

Step 6

Spread a thin layer of mashed avocado onto each toasted baguette slice.

Step 7

Top each slice with a thin slice of seared beef.

Step 8

Drizzle a small amount of the wasabi-soy sauce over the beef using a spoon or squeeze bottle.

Step 9

Finely chop the green onion and sprinkle over the appetizers along with a pinch of sesame seeds for garnish.

Step 10

Arrange the finished appetizers on a serving platter and serve immediately.
