Season the ribeye generously with salt and pepper.
Heat a large cast-iron pan over medium-high heat, add the vegetable oil and heat through. Add the steak and cook until the bottom develops a golden-brown crust, about 5 minutes.
Flip the steak and continue to cook it until medium-rare, about an additional 4 minutes. The internal temperature of the steak should be 130ºF (54ºC).
Remove to a cutting board and let rest for about 15 minutes. Thinly slice the steak, discarding any large pieces of fat.
Preheat the broiler to medium-high. Add about ¼ cup of the olive oil to a shallow dish and dip one of the cut sides of each baguette slice in the olive oil, then arrange the slices, oil-side up on a baking sheet. Broil them just until golden brown, about 1 minute.
Place the crostini on a serving platter and spread each piece with goat cheese. Top each with a small piece of steak followed by a slice of red pepper. Garnish with micro-greens (optional).
