Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 loaves French baguette or Cambodian-style bread
- 500 grams Beef sirloin or flank steak
- 4 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Fish sauce
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons Palm sugar or brown sugar
- 2 stalks Lemongrass, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 medium Carrot, julienned
- 1 medium Cucumber, thinly sliced
- 1 cup Fresh cilantro
- 0.5 cup Pickled daikon and carrot (optional)
- 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Sriracha or chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
Instructions
Slice the beef thinly against the grain and set aside in a bowl.
In a small mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, fish sauce, minced garlic, palm sugar, lemongrass, and ground black pepper. Whisk until the sugar dissolves.
Pour the marinade over the sliced beef. Mix well to coat the beef evenly. Let the beef marinate for at least 20 minutes or refrigerate for up to 1 hour for more flavor.
Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add vegetable oil and heat until shimmering.
Cook the marinated beef in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Sear each batch for about 2-3 minutes per side until caramelized and cooked through. Remove from the heat and set aside.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly heat the baguette loaves in the oven for 5 minutes to make them warm and slightly crispy.
Cut each baguette loaf horizontally, leaving one side intact to act as a hinge. Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on the inside of the bread.
Mix the sriracha or chili sauce with lime juice to create a tangy chili sauce. Drizzle the sauce over the mayo layer.
Stuff each baguette with cooked beef, julienned carrots, sliced cucumbers, fresh cilantro, and optional pickled daikon and carrot.
