Sangiovese |Grilled Lemongrass Steak with Asian Coleslaw and Spicy Garlic Aioli on ACE Bakery White Baguette
Makes 4 sandwiches
Grand winner for Canada's Best Sandwich contest, Thuy Nguyen Crawford of Burlington, ON, says: "I developed this recipe as a result of our long evenings at my eldest son's baseball games. Family dinners together are very important, and I didn't want our long evenings to keep us from eating well together. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as my family does." Extra aioli will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
For the Asian Coleslaw:
The coleslaw should be made at least 4 hours (or overnight) before you are ready to assemble the sandwich. You can make extra to serve as a side salad, or keep it overnight in the refrigerator.
Mix the fish sauce, vinegar, sugar and garlic together until the sugar is dissolved. Combine the remaining ingredients together and mix well. Pour the vinaigrette over the coleslaw mixture and toss.
For the Spicy Garlic Aioli:
Mix all the ingredients together well.
For the Steak:
In a container large enough to hold the steak, mix the garlic, lemongrass, fish sauce, honey and chili. Roll the steak in the marinade and marinate for at least 3 to 4 hours (or overnight) in the refrigerator. Preheat barbecue or grill pan so that it is hot.
Grill the steak to your desired doneness, approximately 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium rare. Let the steak rest for 10 minutes.
Cut the baguette into 4 equal portions. Slice the baguette pieces lengthwise, but not all the way through, and grill for about 1 minute until toasted. Slice the steak 1/8 to 1/4 inch (0.3 to 0.6 cm) thick, against the grain.
Spread the Spicy Garlic Aioli on both top and bottom sides of the baguette portions. Layer the sliced steak on and then top with the Asian Coleslaw.
