Flank Steak Banh Mi

Prep: 15 minutes plus marinating
Grill: 12 minutes • Serves: 4

1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
3 tablespoons canola oil
2 tablespoons chili garlic sauce
1-1/4 pounds flank steak, trimmed
1 loaf (16 ounces) French baguette
6 tablespoons real mayonnaise
2 jalapeño peppers, thinly sliced
1 cup thinly sliced cucumber
1 cup loosely packed fresh cilantro sprigs
1/2 cup pickled carrots (see recipe above)
1/2 cup thinly sliced daikon radish

1.In small bowl, whisk together vinegar, oil and chili garlic sauce. Place steak in large zip-top plastic bag; pour vinegar mixture over steak. Seal bag, pressing out excess air; refrigerate at least 2 hours or up to 8 hours.

2.Prepare outdoor grill for direct grilling over medium-high heat. Remove steak from marinade; discard marinade. Place steak on hot grill rack; cover and cook 12 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 140°F for medium-rare, turning once halfway through cooking. Let steak stand 5 minutes before slicing. (Internal temperature of steak will rise 5 to 10°F upon standing.)

3.To serve, cut loaf of bread horizontally in half but do not cut all the way through, then cut loaf crosswise into 4 equal pieces. Spread cut sides of bread with mayonnaise. Thinly slice steak across the grain; fill bread with steak, jalapeños, cucumber, cilantro, pickled carrots and daikon radish.
