  • olive oil

Easy finger food that'll have them coming back for another bite. Makes about 20-24 crostini

Pair with Panhead Sandman Hazy Pale Ale – an easy chilly bin companion, inspired by an iconic ride. Tropical. Juicy. A southern hemisphere sun-chaser. Drop the tailgate, catch rays and recline in a wagon built for sha... sharing.

or Steinlager Zero – delivering a full flavour that is perfectly balanced with a dry, tangy finish and the crisp, clean bitterness that Steinlager fans know and love.

  1. Rub the eye fillet in the meat rub (or season well). Sear in a medium-hot pan with a little oil until cooked to medium-rare or to your liking. Cover and allow to rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing.
  2. Cut the french bread stick into 2cm-thick slices on the angle, and brush with a little olive oil, then sear until golden or toast in the oven for a few minutes.
  3. Spread each golden toast with blue cheese and sliced beef, then garnish with freeze-dried plum (or fresh cherry) and herbs. Drizzle with balsamic glaze if desired.
