Spicy Roast Beef Appetizers - cooking recipe

Ingredients

8 slices good quality roast beef (have your deli person slice it fairly thick)
1 long French baguette, sliced into 24 pieces
1/2 cup balsamic vinaigrette
1 (7 ounce) jar roasted red peppers, drained and sliced into 24 pieces, approx. 1-inch square
1 (6 ounce) can black olives, drained and cut into halves lengthwise
1/4 cup red hot pepper relish
butter, for the bread slices

Preparation

Prep. Work:
Slice the baguette into at least 24 pieces and place into a ziplock bag. Set aside.
Cut each slice of roast beef into 3 pieces. Fold each piece in half and place into ziplock bag.
Pour Balsamic Vinaigrette over roast beef slices and seal bag. Marinate in refrigerator for 1-2 hours.
To assemble:
Butter one side of each baguette slice.
Place one folded slice of the marinated roast beef on each buttered baguette slice.
Top with a pieces of roasted red pepper. Top that with half an olive, hollow side up.
Place a small amount of hot pepper relish onto the olive's hollow. The more you put on, the hotter your appetizer will taste. Secure all with a toothpick if necessary.
Note: assemble not more than 1hour before serving so the bread does not have a chance to get soggy. Prep. time does not include marination of beef.
