Spicy tomato, goat cheese and steak crostini



•1-1/2 pound flank steak
•1 tablespoons crushed red pepper flakes
•6 ounces soft goat cheese
•6 ounces sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
•Salt and pepper
•1 tablespoon olive oil
•8 slices of baguette
•Chives for garnish

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Liberally rub the steak with salt and pepper.
2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the steak and cook until browned on both sides, about 8 minutes for a medium-rare inside. Remove from the heat and slice into thin slices.
3. To make the spread, mix the goat cheese, sun dried tomatoes and red pepper flakes together. Add salt and pepper. Spread the goat cheese mixture on the top of a baguette.
4. Bake for about 5 minutes, or until the bread is browned and the cheese mixture is warm. Top each piece of bread with steak and a few chopped chives.
