Method

1. Place oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat.

3. Slice french bread and lightly toast.
4. Mince half the mushrooms and keep the other half sliced.
5. Lower heat to medium add butter, shallots, mushrooms and sauté in beef drippings. Remove the sliced mushrooms from the heat, set aside.
6. Deglaze the pan with wine and reduce to half and remove from heat.
7. Spread 1 tsp (5mL) of wine mushroom mixture to each crostini.
8. Top with thinly slice beef striploin and place a slice of brie cheese and top a sliced sautéed mushroom on top.
9. Once all crostinis are assembled drizzle with balsamic glaze.
