GET GOING
Trim off the very top and the base of the rinsed Lemongrass, then peel away the tough outer layers. Use a rolling pin or bottle to lightly crush the lemongrass, slice it in half lengthways, then finely dice. Place the diced lemongrass in a bowl along with the grated ginger, the grated garlic, and ½ the marinade. Mix until combined. Add the beef strips and set aside to marinate.
PICKLED VEG
In a bowl, combine the juice of 1 Lemon wedge, the lemon zest, and a sweetener of choice (to taste). Add the Radish rounds, the Cucumber matchsticks, and the carrot ribbons. Toss until coated and set aside to pickle. Rinse and pick the coriander.
BASTED Beef
Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the marinated Beef until browned and cooked through, 2-4 minutes (shifting as it colours). In the final minute, baste with the remaining Marinade. Remove from the pan, season, and set aside.
BROWNED BAGUETTES
Return the pan, wiped down, to a medium-high heat with a knob of butter or a drizzle of oil. When hot, brown the baguette halves, cut-side down, until browned and warmed through, 2-3 minutes. Drain the pickling liquid from the veg.
BEST BANH MI EVER
Smear the toasted baguette halves with the sriracha mayo (to taste). Top with the Lemongrass beef and some of the pickled veg. Sprinkle over the picked coriander. Serve any remaining fillings and lemon wedges on the side. Close up and enjoy, Chef!
