Yield 2 Wraps

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1 New York strip steak (8 oz)
Salt and pepper
4 Tbsp canola oil
2 Tbsp lime juice
1 tsp Vietnamese chili garlic sauce (sriracha)
Pinch of sugar
1 tsp fish sauce
2 tortillas, warmed
2 handfuls baby greens
2 slices red onion
4 slices tomato
1/2 Avocado sliced

Steps:

Heat a skillet on medium high. Season the steak with salt and pepper. Add 2 tbsp of the oil to the pan and cook the steak, turning once, until it reaches medium rare, about 4 minutes per side. Mix the lime juice, chili sauce, sugar, fish sauce and 2 tbsp oil, and season with salt and pepper. Set the sauce aside. Slice the steak and divide the slices between the two tortillas. Top each with baby greens, onion, tomato and avocado. Serve the wraps with dipping sauce.

Tips:

Choose the right cut of steak: Look for a tender cut of steak that is good for grilling, such as flank steak, skirt steak, or hanger steak.
Marinate the steak: Marinating the steak in a flavorful marinade will help to tenderize it and add flavor. Be sure to marinate the steak for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
Cook the steak over high heat: This will help to create a nice crust on the outside of the steak while keeping the inside tender and juicy. Cook the steak for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or 6-7 minutes per side for medium.
Let the steak rest before slicing it: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak. Let the steak rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing it against the grain.
Use a good quality bread: The bread is an important part of the sandwich, so be sure to use a crusty bread that can hold up to the fillings. A baguette or a ciabatta roll are both good choices.
Pile on the toppings: The toppings are what really make the Vietnamese steak sandwich special. Be sure to use a variety of toppings, such as pickled carrots and daikon, cilantro, mint, and sriracha sauce.

Conclusion:

The Vietnamese steak sandwich is a delicious and easy-to-make sandwich that is perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. With its flavorful steak, pickled vegetables, and fresh herbs, it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a new sandwich recipe to try, be sure to give the Vietnamese steak sandwich a try.
