Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Combine soy sauce, fish sauce, minced garlic, honey, and black pepper in a bowl. Add sliced beef and toss to coat. Let marinate for 15 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    In a separate bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Add julienned daikon and carrots, toss well, and let sit for 10 minutes to soften.

  3. Step 3

    Slice baguettes lengthwise and lightly toast if desired.

  4. Step 4

    Heat a skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add marinated beef in a single layer and cook for 2–3 minutes per side until caramelized and cooked through. Set aside.

  5. Step 5

    Spread mayonnaise on the inside of each baguette. Layer beef, pickled vegetables, cucumber slices, jalapeños, cilantro, and mint.

  6. Step 6

    Serve immediately while the beef is warm.
