Red meat appetizer challenge?

Recommended Posts

So Skreef through me for a loop with this challenge. When I do appetizers, I have never thought to do red meat before. I'm happy with how this turned out but not sure how it will do in the voting over on the guru- so this is what I am thinking of posting. Smoked tri tip crostini with roasted tomatoes, blue cheese and balsamic glaze.  First I got my tri tip

Made up a quick delicious rub

then rubbed it all overIMG_1403.thumb.JPG.0e70a53ec25bafb1164d135e796ae0ba.JPG

and got it on KoKo for a lo and slow to pick up some flavor of the pecan wood IMG_1408.thumb.JPG.e67565cb9a7fabe951e334ff0d490c40.JPG

while that was getting happy I started prepping some delicious tomatoes for roastingIMG_1406.thumb.JPG.c5dd9e2c62f18397754aedd3cd86c2d9.JPGIMG_1407.thumb.JPG.487b0ea9d54c6dd9e27cfbd4ff3f3d5b.JPGIMG_1410.thumb.JPG.d5c3130d2f7baa275f3968a9f6d6d681.JPG

my three year old helped season them tomatoes and asked to cook on the little grill. Right after this picture he ditched me for something more entertaining. Here they are looking goodIMG_1411.thumb.JPG.c48ed7dc292e6c7fc333c56d3e7a6965.JPG

meanwhile I was reducing some balsamic to make a glazeIMG_1409.thumb.JPG.3b93f482b8bf4098e8212a8e3dbf1e90.JPG

then I sliced up a fresh baguette and brushed with olive oil and grilledIMG_1404.thumb.JPG.848e42070f43154073af20ea58132279.JPGIMG_1414.thumb.JPG.e12a45307455eac0c1aab8430a12c623.JPGIMG_1415.thumb.JPG.633b80063b5548a9fcfccbbd2a90aaba.JPG

got out the cheeseIMG_1412.thumb.JPG.0471a2d75d9a21f6eb4918256f05af83.JPG

then seared the tri tipIMG_1416.thumb.JPG.18bc3d727d8df48d59c1e219ffb84004.JPG

after resting I sliced then started assemblingIMG_1423.thumb.JPG.50e90a8f4aa764536af90017b8ac76fb.JPGIMG_1428.thumb.JPG.824dec79ceb116b68a2b65ceb6a1f7db.JPGIMG_1429.thumb.JPG.3497c8f82f8e50c74ddeb687e651496b.JPGIMG_1430.thumb.JPG.759314a608306183434c1e48665d19c1.JPGIMG_1431.thumb.JPG.64a7567cc69a36e15ffdb42042a1435c.JPGIMG_1434.thumb.JPG.3536ec8dbd4b0b244333cebe2b2b04a1.JPGIMG_1436.thumb.JPG.823fcbfb5e8ce9136d4e9c7091f6693d.JPG

this was bomb.com. We ended up eating the rest of our dinner with these toppings because it was soooooo good. Only thing I'd change was making the slices cleaner. My hubby got me a slicing knife recommended by Aaron franklin for brisket for my birthday so I'm looking forward to breaking that in this weekend!!!   Anyway this was a lot of fun and definitely tasty
