To Make the Banh Mi

  1. Heat grill to high heat.

  3. Place steak on hot grill, rotating the steak 90° to establish grill marks after 2 minutes.
  4. Flip steak after 4 minutes and continue to cook steak until desired temperature is met. Glaze steak with more hoisin as desired. For medium rare, take steak off when a meat thermometer reads 125-130°F. Remove steak from grill and set aside to rest for at least 5 minutes (please note cook times vary based on size of steak).
  5. Warm French rolls in microwave for about 20 seconds. Remove from microwave and slice lengthwise down the side of the roll.
  6. Smear a dollop of chicken pâté spread along bottom bun.
  7. Spread the top bun with desired amount of Maggi Sriracha Mayo.
  8. Layer a few ribbons of cucumbers on top of pâté.
  9. After steak has rested, thinly slice against the grain and toss in the Nuoc Cham to coat.
  10. Place desired amount of steak on top of cucumber. Spoon extra nuoc cham over steak if desired.
  11. Top with healthy amount of pickled vegetables and cilantro. Enjoy!
