Ingredients
- 1 baguette, sliced and toasted
- 1 pound beef tenderloin, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon butter
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) for toasting the baguette slices.
- Arrange baguette slices on a baking sheet and brush lightly with olive oil. Toast in the oven until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
- Season the beef tenderloin slices with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over high heat. Add the beef slices and sear quickly on each side, about 1-2 minutes per side. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium. Add butter and garlic, sautéing until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Stir in heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and thyme. Cook, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3-4 minutes.
- To assemble, place a slice of beef on each toasted baguette slice. Spoon a generous amount of Parmesan cream sauce over the beef. Garnish with additional thyme if desired.
