Directions:Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 450°F. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Cut the bread into four 1-inch-thick slices (you may have extra bread). Quarter and de-seed the lemon. Peel the garlic. Cut off and discard any rind from the Fontina cheese; small dice the cheese. Roughly chop the capers. Cut the steak into small squares, maybe 1 cm x 1 cm.
2. In a medium pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the spinach; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 1 to 2 minutes, or until bright green and wilted. Transfer to a cutting board and finely chop. Transfer the chopped spinach to a medium bowl; stir in the Parmesan cheese and the juice of 2 lemon wedges. Slowly stir in enough olive oil to create a rough paste; season with salt and pepper to taste. Wipe out the pan.
3. In the pan used to cook the zucchini, heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil on medium-high heat until hot. Add the bread and cook 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until lightly browned and crispy. Transfer to a plate. Wipe out the pan. When cool enough to handle, carefully rub the cut sides of the toasted bread with the garlic clove; discard the clove. Transfer the garlic toasts to a sheet pan.
4. Using your hands, separate the sliced beef; pat dry with paper towels. In the pan used to toast the bread, heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil on high until hot. Using tongs, add the beef in a single, even layer; season with salt and pepper. Cook, without stirring, 1 to 2 minutes, or until browned on the first side. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until browned and just cooked through. Remove from heat.
5. Divide the cooked beef between the garlic toasts. Evenly top with the Fontina cheese and capers. Bake 2 to 4 minutes, or until the cheese has melted. Remove from the oven. Divide the baked tartines. Top the tartines with the remaining pistou. Serve with the remaining lemon wedges on the side. Enjoy! |
