Directions

Step 1

Thinly slice the beef sirloin across the grain into strips.

Step 2

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.

Step 4

Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 5

Drain any excess marinade from the beef and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side until cooked through and nicely charred.

Step 6

Split the baguettes lengthwise and toast them lightly in the oven or on a skillet.

Step 7

Spread mayonnaise generously on both sides of the opened baguettes.

Step 8

Layer the cooked beef onto the baguettes, followed by pickled carrots and daikon, cucumber slices, fresh cilantro, and jalapeño slices.

Step 9

Close the baguettes, cut each into halves, and serve immediately.
