VIETNAMESE BANH MI SANDWICH WITH GRILLED BEEF
The Vietnamese sandwich is a wonderful combination of flavors and textures. This version is made with very thinly sliced grilled beef with a charred and carmelized meat flavor, a layer of crunchy sweet and sour pickled carrots and daikon (recipe posted separately), a layer of soft and sweet shallots and fresh and crispy lettuce and cilantro. The recipe is from The Steamy Kitchen Cookbook by Jaden Hair. Tip: slice the beef very thinly before the meat has completely thawed, or ask the butcher to slice it thinly when you purchase it. If you have a package of the thinly sliced beef for cheese steaks, that will work too (as long as it isn't pre-seasoned).

Steps:
- Whisk together the garlic, fish sauce, soy sauce, sugar, pepper, and 1 tbsp peanut oil in a large bowl. Add the sliced beef and mix well to coat each slice. Marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes (or overnight in the refrigerator).
- Heat a grill pan (or electric grill appliance) until it is hot. Brush 1 tbsp oil on the pan. Add the beef slices in batches, laying them flat in a single layer, taking care not to overcrowd the pan. Grill for 30 seconds to 1 minute and flip each slice, repeating on the other side (unless you are using the double sided grill appliance, and then you would not flip and repeat). Remove the beef slices when they are just slightly charred, but not overcooked. Drain off and reserve the juices. Repeat, brushing grill pan with additional oil when necessary, until all the beef slices are grilled.
- When the beef is grilled, brush the pan with more oil and add the shallots (or onions). Grill them until just softened. Reserve any remaining juices along with the carmelized bits.
- Assemble the sandwiches by slicing the French baguettes in half lengthwise, brushing each half with some of the pan juices; add 2 lettuce leaves, 1/4 of the grilled beef, 1/4 cup of the carrot daikon pickle, grilled shallots and a sprig of fresh cilantro.
Tips:
- To ensure the steak is tender, use a flank steak or skirt steak and marinate it for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
- To get the perfect sear on the steak, cook it over high heat in a well-oiled pan.
- Let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing it against the grain, this will help keep the juices in.
- For a flavorful and authentic Vietnamese marinade, use a combination of lemongrass, garlic, soy sauce, and fish sauce.
- To make the pickled vegetables, use a mixture of carrots, daikon radish, and cucumbers, and marinate them in a vinegar-based solution for at least 30 minutes.
- To assemble the sandwich, use a baguette or a hoagie roll, and top it with the steak, pickled vegetables, cilantro, and a drizzle of nước chấm.
Conclusion:
The Vietnamese steak sandwich is a delicious and satisfying meal that is perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. With its tender steak, flavorful marinade, and pickled vegetables, this sandwich is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for something new and exciting to try, give this Vietnamese steak sandwich a try, you won't be disappointed!
