👨‍🍳 Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the baguette into ½-inch thick slices, placing them on a baking sheet. Drizzle each slice with 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil and lightly season with salt and pepper. Toast the slices in the oven for about 5-7 minutes, or until they’re golden and crisp. Remove and set aside.

👨‍🍳 Season the sirloin steak generously with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until it reaches your desired doneness. Once cooked, remove the steak and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.

👨‍🍳 In a small bowl, mix the minced garlic with the chopped parsley or chives. Once the steak is sliced, combine it with this herb mixture and gently toss to coat.

👨‍🍳 To serve, place a slice of the toasted baguette on each plate. Spoon the seasoned steak onto the crostini and drizzle each with 1 tablespoon of balsamic glaze. The glaze should be applied just before serving to maintain its glossy finish and prevent it from becoming too thick.
