Thinly slice the beef sirloin across the grain into strips.
In a bowl, mix together soy sauce, fish sauce, sugar, minced garlic, and ground black pepper. Add the beef slices, mix well, and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
In a separate bowl, combine rice vinegar, water, salt, and sugar for pickling. Add the julienned carrot and daikon radish, and let them pickle for at least 20 minutes.
Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat.
Drain any excess marinade from the beef and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side until cooked through and nicely charred.
Split the baguettes lengthwise and toast them lightly in the oven or on a skillet.
Spread mayonnaise generously on both sides of the opened baguettes.
Layer the cooked beef onto the baguettes, followed by pickled carrots and daikon, cucumber slices, fresh cilantro, and jalapeño slices.
Close the baguettes, cut each into halves, and serve immediately.
