Method

Beef: Marinate the beef strips in a mixture of the ginger, garlic, chili pepper, shallots, fish sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, lemon juice, lime juice, and hoisin sauce, about one-half hour in refrigerator. When ready to cook, stir-fry the beef and marinade in butter and the 1 tbsp. sesame oil. Stir beef constantly, allow most of the moisture to evaporate until the meat is thoroughly cooked and the liquid becomes a thick sauce. When ready to serve, cut the French rolls about 2/3 of the way through, hot dog style. Layer the cucumber pickle with the meat strips in the French rolls. Garnish with parsley or cilantro sprigs. Cucumber Pickle: Dissolve the sugar and salt in the rice vinegar. Allow to cool. Put the cucumber, carrot, zucchini and yellow squash strips, scallions, chili peppers, and peanuts in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate.

 

Notes: This is my version of an Asian street sandwich called "Bunh Minh," in which some of the ingredients are stir-fried.
