Beef Marinade

Bánh mì Assembly

Method

Beef Marinade Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a mixing bowl, combine minced lemongrass, minced garlic, fish sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Beef

    Slice the beef sirloin into thin strips and add it to the marinade. Ensure the beef is thoroughly coated. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

Cooking the Beef

  1. 3

    Cook the Beef

    Heat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Add a little oil if necessary. Remove the beef from the marinade (discard any excess marinade) and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until cooked to your desired doneness. Remove from heat and let rest.

Bánh mì Assembly

  1. 4

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Thinly slice the cucumber and carrot into julienne strips. Set aside.

  2. 5

    Assemble the Bánh mì

    Slice the baguettes lengthwise, leaving one side attached. Spread mayonnaise on both sides of the bread. Layer the cooked beef, cucumber, carrot, and fresh cilantro inside the baguette. Drizzle with sriracha sauce to taste.

  3. 6

    Serve

    Cut the assembled bánh mì in half and serve immediately, enjoying the delicious flavors of lemongrass beef.
