Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Thinly slice the 0.5 lb beef sirloin against the grain. In a bowl, toss with 2 tbsp soy sauce and let sit for 5 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    While the beef marinates, slice the 1 carrot and 0.5 cucumber into thin matchsticks. Pick leaves from the 0.5 cup cilantro.

  3. Step 3

    Heat a skillet over high heat. Add the beef in a single layer and cook until browned and slightly charred, about 2-3 minutes per side.

  4. Step 4

    Slice the 1 baguette lengthwise, leaving one side attached. Fill with the cooked beef, carrot, cucumber, and cilantro. Press gently and serve.

  5. Step 5

    Optional: add sriracha or mayonnaise for extra flavor if you have them.
