Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large Baguette
- 1 pound Beef sirloin steak
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon Fish sauce (soy-free)
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 1 medium Carrot
- 4 small Radishes
- 1 small Jalapeño
- 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro
- 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
Instructions
Slice the beef sirloin steak thinly against the grain and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, 1 tablespoon soy-free fish sauce, 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder, 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper, and 0.5 teaspoon salt to create a marinade.
Add the sliced beef to the marinade and mix well. Let the beef marinate for at least 20 minutes.
While the beef is marinating, peel and julienne the carrot, thinly slice the cucumber and radishes, and slice the jalapeño into rounds. Set these vegetables aside.
Mix 4 tablespoons of mayonnaise with 1 tablespoon of lime juice to make a lime mayo spread.
Once the beef has marinated, heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef slices in the skillet, cooking for about 1-2 minutes on each side or until cooked through.
Preheat the oven to broil. Cut the baguette into 4 equal parts and slice each piece open lengthwise. Toast under the broiler for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden.
Spread the lime mayo on both sides of the toasted baguette pieces.
Layer the marinated beef, sliced vegetables, and fresh cilantro inside the baguette.
Close the baguette and press slightly. Serve immediately and enjoy your soy-free beef banh mi!
