Vietnamese Grilled Beef Sandwich
Grilled marinated beef sirloin strips layered into a crisp baguette with pickled daikon and carrot, cucumber, cilantro, and jalapeño, finished with mayonnaise and soy sauce. The beef is marinated in fish sauce, garlic, lemongrass, and sugar before a quick high-heat char, giving the sandwich a smoky, tangy, savoury core.
