Ingredients

• 2 pieces gluten-free baguette
• 500 grams beef sirloin, thinly sliced
• 4 tablespoons tamari (gluten-free soy sauce)
• 1 tablespoon fish sauce
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup rice vinegar
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 large carrot, julienned
• 1 medium daikon radish, julienned
• 1 medium cucumber, sliced into narrow ribbons
• 0.5 cup cilantro, fresh
• 0.5 cup mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 1 unit jalapeño, thinly sliced
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine tamari, fish sauce, brown sugar, garlic, black pepper, and sesame oil to create the marinade.

Step 2

Add the thinly sliced beef to the marinade, mix well to coat the meat evenly, and let it marinate for at least 20 minutes in the refrigerator.

Step 3

While the beef is marinating, prepare the pickled vegetables. In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar and sugar until the sugar dissolves.

Step 4

Add the julienned carrot and daikon radish to the vinegar mixture. Mix well and let it sit for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 5

Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 6

Remove the beef from the marinade and cook in the preheated pan, turning occasionally, until the beef is cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 7

While the beef is cooking, cut each gluten-free baguette in half horizontally and spread a layer of mayonnaise mixed with lime juice on the inside of each piece.

Step 8

Once the beef is cooked, assemble the sandwiches. Place a generous amount of cooked beef on the bottom half of the baguette.

Step 9

Top with pickled vegetables, sliced cucumber, fresh cilantro, and jalapeño slices to your liking.

Step 10

Place the top half of the baguette to complete the sandwich. Serve immediately, slicing each baguette into two portions if desired.
