Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Lean beef tenderloin
- 2 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 3 minced Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger
- 1 large Whole grain baguette
- 0.5 sliced Cucumber
- 1 grated Carrot
- 5 thinly sliced Radishes
- 0.5 cup Cilantro
- 1 thinly sliced Jalapeño pepper
- 2 tablespoons Low-fat mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
In a bowl, combine low-sodium soy sauce, olive oil, honey, minced garlic, and freshly grated ginger to create a marinade.
Slice the lean beef tenderloin into thin strips and add it to the marinade. Let it rest for at least 20 minutes to absorb flavors.
While the beef is marinating, prepare the vegetables: slice the cucumber, grate the carrot, thinly slice the radishes and jalapeño, and roughly chop the cilantro.
In a small bowl, mix together the low-fat mayonnaise and lime juice. Set aside.
Heat a non-stick pan over medium-high heat, and add the marinated beef slices. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through.
Cut the whole grain baguette into four equal sections, then split each section lengthwise. Lightly toast the baguette pieces if desired.
Spread the lime-infused mayonnaise on the inside of each baguette slice.
Layer the cooked beef onto the bottom halves of the baguettes, then top with cucumber, grated carrot, radishes, and jalapeño slices.
Garnish each sandwich with fresh cilantro leaves.
Close the sandwiches with the top half of the baguette, secure with a skewer if necessary, and serve immediately.
