Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 lb beef steak (tenderloin, sirloin, top loin, or flank)
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 2 teaspoon fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
- 2 large garlic cloves (peel and finely chop)
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (divided)
- Yellow onion (peel and cut into thin wedges)
- 2 large tomatoes (cut into thick wedges)
- 4 eggs
- 4 small Bánh Mì Vietnamese Baguette
Instructions
- Prepare beef: You can keep the steak whole but I like to cut them into thick slices (about ⅛”) against the grain for easy eating. In a medium bowl, mix together oyster sauce, soy sauce, fish sauce, dark brown sugar, garlic, and sesame oil. Add sliced steak to the marinade and toss to coat. Marinate for at least 15 minutes or overnight in the fridge, covered.
- Cook beef: Heat a single-serving cast-iron pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Add half tablespoon of butter to the pan. Add the onions (¼ portion) to the pan and cook until they are softened and lightly charred, about 5 minutes. Add marinated steak (¼ portion) to the pan and cook for about 5 minutes total, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness if using whole steak.
- Add egg: Once the steak is about done cooking, add half tablespoon of butter to the pan. Crack an egg into the butter and cook to your desired doneness. I like mine sunny side up, with a runny yolk.
- Finish: Add a few slices of tomato wedges to the pan and cook until slightly charred. Garnish with cilantro or green onions. Add pickled vegetables and pate. Serve immediately with a baguette. Repeat three more time as this recipe makes four servings.
Notes
- If you can’t find Vietnamese Bánh Mì baguette, opt for a French baguette. You are looking for a thin crust with airy interior. You can also use dinner rolls if baguettes are not available.
- You can make your own pâté if you are planning to make a lot. Any leftover can easily be freeze. For a smaller portion, you can get a small can online or purchase them in your local grocery store.
