These simple yet delicious steak toasts make great party food but are just as good served as a light lunch dish too. Think Scottish version of Italian bruschetta!

It’s Burn’s Night next week and everyone will be diving into the haggis, quaffing whisky and quoting Burns as best they can after sinking too much of the golden juice.

I thought these steak toasts would make a nice wee change if you are having friends round for a few drinks and want to have something different on Burn’s Night.

Scottish Party Food

This simple recipe for steak toasts comes from my cookbook A Wee Taste Of Scotland which is full of traditional Scottish recipes that I have reworked to be party food.

When I have people round for drinks and nibbles I love to do things that are pretty substantial and soak up the booze on offer but they also have to be super easy to make.

While I enjoy cooking and prepping up food in the kitchen, I don’t like to be trapped there all day getting things ready for a party. Give me easy recipes that I can pull together quickly so I can have time to chill out and get myself into party mode.

Ingredients

Scotland is well known for her beef, especially the wondrous Aberdeen Angus beef and that’s what I’ve used in this easy recipe.

I’ve also used my Highlander Mustard which is on this blog, you can use any other mustard but this one has whisky in it so ticks another Scottish box.

Mayonnaise (you can make your own foolproof mayonnaise from this super easy recipe)

Salad leaves of choice and thinly sliced red onion

Wholemeal bread to toast as your bases.

Making steak toasts

First toast your bread

Mix the mayonnaise with the mustard to a smooth creamy paste and spread this on the toast

Sear the steak in a hot pan till it is cooked to your liking then set it aside on a plate to rest. Slice into 6 pieces.

Add the steak slices to the prepared toasts and top with your salad leaves and red onion slices.

These steak toasts are also great just as a simple supper dish if you make them full size instead of bite-sized as I have done here. This recipe makes six bite-sized steak toasts, just up the ingredients for more to suit your needs.
