Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Slice the baguette into four equal sections.
- Julienne the carrot (cut into thin, matchstick-sized pieces).
- Thinly slice the scallions and chili peppers.
- Tear the lettuce leaves into smaller pieces if they are too large.
- Roughly chop the coriander leaves.
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Season the beef fillets with salt and pepper to taste.
- Add the beef fillets to the skillet, cooking each side for about 3-4 minutes for medium-rare, or adjust the time according to your desired doneness.
- Once cooked, remove from the heat and let the fillets rest for a few minutes before slicing them thinly against the grain.
- While the beef is resting, lightly toast the sliced baguette sections in the skillet or a toaster until they are golden brown and crisp.
- Spread a generous amount of mayonnaise on the cut sides of each baguette section.
- Drizzle a small amount of soy sauce over the mayonnaise.
- Layer each baguette section with lettuce leaves, julienned carrot, scallions, coriander leaves, and sliced chili peppers.
- Finally, place the thinly sliced beef fillets on top of the assembled vegetables.
- Press the top half of the baguette down gently.
- Serve the Vietnamese beef rolls immediately while the beef is still warm.
Tips:
- To achieve the best flavor, marinate the beef fillets in the soy sauce for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
- Slice the vegetables thinly and evenly to ensure they fit well within the rolls and provide a uniform texture.
- For added crunch, consider adding thinly sliced cucumber or bell peppers to the beef rolls.
- Use a sharp knife to cut baguette into equal pieces, enabling easier assembly and serving.
- If you prefer a milder flavor, deseed the chili peppers or replace them with a milder variety.
- Toast the baguette slightly to give it a crispy texture that complements the tenderness of the beef and the freshness of the vegetables.
- Experiment with different sauces, such as hoisin or sriracha, to add a unique twist to your Vietnamese beef rolls.
