Description
Everybody’s favourite Vietnamese sandwich is shape shifting. A bowl of warm rice instead of a rice-flour baguette? We’re more than okay with that, as long as we get that wonderfully distinctive play of beef strips, pickled veggies (kohlrabi and cukes) and souped-up mayo.

Recipe Instructions
Step 1: Cook the rice
- In a medium pot, combine the rice, 1 ½ cups water (double for 4 portions) and a big pinch of salt; bring to a boil.
- Reduce the heat, cover and simmer, 14 to 16 min., until the rice is tender and the water has been absorbed.
- Remove from the heat and let sit, covered, for 5 min. Fluff the rice.
Step 2: Mise en place
- Meanwhile, thinly slice the scallion crosswise.
- Peel and cut the kohlrabi into matchsticks (or halve and thinly slice).
- Quarter the cucumbers lengthwise; thinly slice crosswise.
- Mince the garlic.
Step 3: Make the pickled veggies
- In a small pot, bring ½ cup water (double for 4 portions) to a boil.
- Add the vinegar, garlic, ½ the chili sauce and S&P; stir well.
- In a large bowl, combine the kohlrabi and cucumbers.
- Pour the hot pickling liquid over.
Step 4: Cook the steaks
- Pat the steaks dry; season with S&P.
- In a medium pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high.
- Add the steaks* and cook, 3 to 5 min. per side, until cooked as desired (to ensure a consistent temperature throughout, turn over at least twice).
- Transfer to a cutting board and let rest before slicing.
- Shrimp: Remove the shells from the tails if desired. Cook, 1 to 2 min. per side.
Step 5: Make the sauce
- Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine the mayo, remaining chili sauce and 1 tbsp water (double for 4 portions).
Step 6: Plate your dish
- Divide the rice between your bowls.
- Top with the steaks and pickled veggies (drain before adding).
- Drizzle with the sauce.
- Garnish with the scallion. Bon appétit!
