VIETNAMESE SANDWICH



Vietnamese Sandwich image

While teaching English in Asia the past several years, I've been lucky to exchange some delicious and authentic recipes with local people. This Vietnamese banh mi sandwich is awesome, and it is a nice break from common sandwiches. The garlic chili sauce is common in Asian sections of markets but Indonesian sambal or Korean chili paste can also be substituted. Beer or red wine is the beverage of choice for this authentic recipe of French-influenced Vietnamese cuisine.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 38

1 1/2 pounds very thinly sliced rib-eye steak*, trimmed of any excess fat, at room temperature
1 tablespoon granulated sugar, divided
1 tablespoon light brown sugar, divided
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
5 tablespoons canola oil, divided
1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
1/4 cup white wine
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 large red onion, medium dice
1 large red bell pepper, medium dice
1 jalapeno (stemmed, seeded, ribs removed), small dice
2 1/2 tablespoons minced garlic
4 green onion stalks, diced
4 (6 to 7-inch) baguette rolls, split
Fire-Roasted Jalapeno Aioli, recipe follows
1 large bunch or package baby watercress
1 bunch fresh cilantro sprigs
1 red bell pepper, stem, seeds and ribs removed, julienne cut
1 English cucumber, peeled and cut on diagonal into 1 1/4-inch rounds
2 jalapenos, sliced very thin (optional, but recommended)
Crispy Fried Onion Strings, recipe follows
1 large lime, cut into 8 wedges
4 large jalapenos
4 cloves garlic, papery outer layer still attached
Dash cayenne pepper
1/2 cup packed cilantro leaves
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 lime, zested
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
2 cups mayonnaise
Canola oil, for frying
4 cups rice flour
4 large red onions, sliced paper-thin
Fine salt
Freshly cracked black pepper
Bunch chives, minced

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. To the meat, add half of the granulated sugar, half of the brown sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon pepper and 1 tablespoon of oil. Next, combine the remaining sugars, vinegar, wine, soy sauce and fish sauce in a bowl. Taste and add salt and pepper, if needed.
  • Divide the meat into 2 portions. Place 2 large skillets over the highest heat possible and add 1 tablespoon of oil to each skillet. When the oil begins to smoke, add 1/2 the meat in 1 layer to each pan. Let sit until a brown crust forms, and turn to brown the other side. Browning should take approximately 2 to 3 minutes total. Set aside, drain 1 skillet of excess oil and lightly wipe down with a paper towel.
  • In that skillet, add 2 tablespoons of oil over high heat. When the oil begins to smoke add the onion, bell pepper and jalapeno with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook stirring often until lightly caramelized, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and green onions and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes. While the onion mixture is finishing cooking, place the 4 baguettes in the oven for 1 to 2 minutes until lightly toasted and warmed through. Add the beef and vinegar mixture to the onions, and stir to combine. Taste and add additional salt and pepper, if desired. Keep warm while you assemble the sandwich.
  • To assemble each sandwich, spread 1 scant tablespoon of aioli on both sides of the baguette. On the bottom half, add a small handful of watercress, then 1/4 of the meat mixture, top with a small handful of cilantro, some julienne bell pepper, a few slices of cucumber, and a few slices of jalapeno. Enjoy and serve along with 2 lime wedges (which are meant to be squeezed over the meat right before eating), Crispy Fried Onion Strings, and additional aioli in a ramekin for dipping - and enjoy!
  • Heat a skillet over high heat. Add the jalapeno and garlic to the dry skillet. Cook until blackened and charred on all sides, about 10 minutes. Place in a plastic bag, seal and allow to rest for 5 minutes. Then remove the stems, most of the skin, and all of the seeds and ribs from the jalapeno, and the outer layer of the garlic. Add jalapenos and garlic to a food processor or blender with remaining ingredients. Blend, taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper and cayenne if desired and enjoy!;
  • (Makes enough for 4 sandwiches, plus extra for dipping Onion Strings) .
  • Fill a large heavy pot 1/3 full with oil and heat to 350 degrees F. Line a plate with paper towels. Place the flour in a large paper bag or bowl. Add the onions, toss well to coat and shake off the excess. Fry the onions until golden brown (you may need to do this in 2 batches if your pot isnt big enough), about 4 minutes. Remove to the paper towel lined plate, and immediately sprinkle generously with salt and a touch of pepper. Place a large mound on each plate and top with chopped chives. Serve with a ramekin of the aioli and enjoy!

VIETNAMESE BANH MI SANDWICH WITH GRILLED BEEF



Vietnamese Banh Mi Sandwich With Grilled Beef image

The Vietnamese sandwich is a wonderful combination of flavors and textures. This version is made with very thinly sliced grilled beef with a charred and carmelized meat flavor, a layer of crunchy sweet and sour pickled carrots and daikon (recipe posted separately), a layer of soft and sweet shallots and fresh and crispy lettuce and cilantro. The recipe is from The Steamy Kitchen Cookbook by Jaden Hair. Tip: slice the beef very thinly before the meat has completely thawed, or ask the butcher to slice it thinly when you purchase it. If you have a package of the thinly sliced beef for cheese steaks, that will work too (as long as it isn't pre-seasoned).

Categories     Low Cholesterol

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon garlic, finely minced
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons peanut oil (more may be needed)
1 lb sirloin, sliced very thin (rib eye, strip steak, or pre-sliced beef for cheese steaks may be used instead)
5 shallots, thinly sliced (you may substitute an onion if you don't have shallots)
4 French baguettes (sandwich size - 8 inches each)
8 lettuce leaves, large leafy type
1 cup carrot, daikon pickle recipe
4 sprigs cilantro

Steps:

  • Whisk together the garlic, fish sauce, soy sauce, sugar, pepper, and 1 tbsp peanut oil in a large bowl. Add the sliced beef and mix well to coat each slice. Marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes (or overnight in the refrigerator).
  • Heat a grill pan (or electric grill appliance) until it is hot. Brush 1 tbsp oil on the pan. Add the beef slices in batches, laying them flat in a single layer, taking care not to overcrowd the pan. Grill for 30 seconds to 1 minute and flip each slice, repeating on the other side (unless you are using the double sided grill appliance, and then you would not flip and repeat). Remove the beef slices when they are just slightly charred, but not overcooked. Drain off and reserve the juices. Repeat, brushing grill pan with additional oil when necessary, until all the beef slices are grilled.
  • When the beef is grilled, brush the pan with more oil and add the shallots (or onions). Grill them until just softened. Reserve any remaining juices along with the carmelized bits.
  • Assemble the sandwiches by slicing the French baguettes in half lengthwise, brushing each half with some of the pan juices; add 2 lettuce leaves, 1/4 of the grilled beef, 1/4 cup of the carrot daikon pickle, grilled shallots and a sprig of fresh cilantro.

Tips:

  • Use the freshest ingredients possible. This will ensure that your bánh mì sandwich is packed with flavor.
  • Choose a good quality baguette. The baguette is the foundation of the sandwich, so it's important to choose one that is fresh and crusty.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different fillings. Bánh mì sandwiches are a great way to use up leftover ingredients, so feel free to get creative.
  • Make sure the pork is cooked thoroughly. This will help prevent foodborne illness.
  • Serve the sandwich immediately. Bánh mì sandwiches are best when they are fresh.

Conclusion:

Bánh mì sandwiches are a delicious and versatile Vietnamese dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With a variety of fillings to choose from, there's sure to be a bánh mì sandwich that everyone will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give bánh mì a try. You won't be disappointed.
