Beef Banh Mi Bowls with Sriracha Mayo, Carrot, and Pickled Cucumber

Serves 2

Beef Banh Mi Bowls

with Sriracha Mayo, Carrot, and Pickled Cucumber

FOOD TREND RIFF COMIN’ IN HOT. We took the traditional sandwich (bread, meat, chili, carrot, pickly things, mayonnaise, and magic), lost the bread (been eating soooo many stress carbs), and threw it in our favorite eating vessel, THE BOWL. Once we looked at said bowl, filled with saucy beef, carrot, pickles, and spicy mayo, we threw back in some carbs because...life can be stressful. Hello, lime rice!

Instructions

5 steps
  1. 1

    In a small pot, combine rice, 1 ¼ cups water (2 ¼ cups for 4 servings), and a large pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. Cook until rice is tender, 15-20 minutes. Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.

  2. 2

    Meanwhile, wash and dry all produce. Peel and finely chop garlic. Zest and quarter lime. Trim and halve cucumber lengthwise; slice crosswise into thin half-moons. Halve, peel, and medium dice onion. Trim, peel, and grate carrot.

  3. 3

    In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, as much sriracha as you’d like, a pinch of garlic, and a squeeze of lime juice. Season with salt and pepper. In a medium bowl, combine cucumber, ¼ tsp sugar (½ tsp for 4 servings), a pinch of salt, and juice from 2 lime wedges.

  4. 4

    Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook, stirring, until softened, 4-5 minutes. Add beef, remaining garlic, and 2 tsp sugar (4 tsp for 4 servings). Cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Stir in soy sauce. Turn off heat; taste and season with salt and pepper. Meanwhile, wash and dry all produce. Peel and finely chop garlic. Zest and quarter lime. Trim and halve cucumber lengthwise; slice crosswise into thin half-moons. Halve, peel, and medium dice onion. Trim, peel, and grate carrot.

  5. 5

    Fluff rice with a fork and stir in lime zest and 1 TBSP butter; divide between bowls. Arrange beef, grated carrot, and pickled cucumber on top. Top with a squeeze of lime juice. Drizzle with sriracha mayo.
