Treat your ingredients with care...

Beef — Choose a tender cut of beef like sirloin for the best results. Make sure to slice it thinly against the grain to ensure tenderness.
Balsamic vinegar — Opt for a good quality balsamic vinegar to achieve a rich and flavorful glaze.

Tips & Tricks

For an extra burst of flavor, you can add a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese on top of the beef bruschetta before drizzling with the balsamic glaze.
If you prefer a spicier kick, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade.
Make sure to toast the bread slices until they are crispy to provide a sturdy base for the beef.

Serving advice

Serve the Bruscitt as an appetizer or as a main course accompanied by a fresh salad. It pairs well with a glass of red wine.

Presentation advice

Arrange the crispy beef slices neatly on the toasted bread and drizzle the balsamic glaze in an artistic pattern. Garnish with a sprig of fresh rosemary for an elegant touch.
