Ingredients

• 1 large Baguette
• 1 pound Beef sirloin steak
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon Fish sauce (soy-free)
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 medium Cucumber
• 1 medium Carrot
• 4 small Radishes
• 1 small Jalapeño
• 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro
• 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon Lime juice

Directions

Step 1

Slice the beef sirloin steak thinly against the grain and set aside.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, 1 tablespoon soy-free fish sauce, 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder, 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper, and 0.5 teaspoon salt to create a marinade.

Step 3

Add the sliced beef to the marinade and mix well. Let the beef marinate for at least 20 minutes.

Step 4

While the beef is marinating, peel and julienne the carrot, thinly slice the cucumber and radishes, and slice the jalapeño into rounds. Set these vegetables aside.

Step 5

Mix 4 tablespoons of mayonnaise with 1 tablespoon of lime juice to make a lime mayo spread.

Step 6

Once the beef has marinated, heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef slices in the skillet, cooking for about 1-2 minutes on each side or until cooked through.

Step 7

Preheat the oven to broil. Cut the baguette into 4 equal parts and slice each piece open lengthwise. Toast under the broiler for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden.

Step 8

Spread the lime mayo on both sides of the toasted baguette pieces.

Step 9

Layer the marinated beef, sliced vegetables, and fresh cilantro inside the baguette.

Step 10

Close the baguette and press slightly. Serve immediately and enjoy your soy-free beef banh mi!
