Spicy Roast Beef Appetizers

• 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

1. Prep. Work:
2. Slice the baguette into at least 24 pieces and place into a ziplock bag. Set aside.
3. Cut each slice of roast beef into 3 pieces. Fold each piece in half and place into ziplock bag.
4. Pour Balsamic Vinaigrette over roast beef slices and seal bag. Marinate in refrigerator for 1-2 hours.
5. To assemble:
6. Butter one side of each baguette slice.
7. Place one folded slice of the marinated roast beef on each buttered baguette slice.
8. Top with a pieces of roasted red pepper. Top that with half an olive, hollow side up.
9. 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.
