How to Make Vietnamese Banh Mi Sandwich With Grilled Beef

In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cloves minced garlic, 2 tablespoons fish sauce, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 tablespoon peanut oil.
Add 1 pound thinly sliced beef (see tip below) and toss gently to coat every slice evenly.
Marinate at room temperature for at least 30 minutes (longer is better!).
Heat a large grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat.
Brush the pan with 1 tablespoon oil.
Add the marinated beef slices in batches, ensuring they're arranged in a single layer to avoid overcrowding.
Grill for 30 seconds to 1 minute per side, flipping once, until beautifully charred and slightly caramelized.
Remove the grilled beef and set aside, reserving the pan juices.
Repeat steps 5-8 until all the beef is grilled.
Add 1 cup thinly sliced shallots to the pan, brushing with 1 tablespoon additional oil.
Grill the shallots until softened and slightly caramelized, about 2-3 minutes.
Reserve the pan juices and caramelized bits from the shallots.
To assemble, slice your French baguettes lengthwise. Brush each baguette half with a generous amount of the reserved pan juices.
Layer 2-3 lettuce leaves, 1/4 of the grilled beef, 1/4 cup of pickled carrots and daikon, the grilled shallots, and a sprig of fresh cilantro on each baguette half.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Banh Mi!
