Recently I made a marvelous Garlic Steak Bahn Mi inspired by a Diner’s Drive-Ins and Dives episode. One of the key components of that recipe was what the owner called a Black Pepper Onion Vinaigrette.
The Black Pepper Onion Vinaigrette is fire! It should go right over the beef – my bad adding it last!
One of the best sandwiches I’ve ever made – make that one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever eaten, the Garlic Steak Bahn Mi. Each bite is a play on savory, sweet, tangy, and fresh. Each bite will have you craving the next.

The other day, I made the most marvelous (if I do say so myself, and I do, I do) Bahn Mi Street Tacos. If you haven’t seen that post, take a peek! One of the defining elements in that recipe is these Quick Vietnamese Pickled Carrots, a little sweet with tangy undertones from the vinegar, and they’re a little addictive!

I don’t know if any of you guys watch Diners Drive-Ins & Dives but I swear it’s becoming an issue at my house. I might need a support group! That’s where I got the idea of Bahn Mi Street Tacos. They’re def a play on American Southern and Mexican with just a touch of Asian tossed in the mix. And just when you might think you’re bored of street tacos…this one is surprising in over the top flavor. A little crazy, even, but it just works!

Do you ever make a meal you’re so wild crazy about that you polish it all off regardless of how many servings it’s supposed to be? Well, that happened when I made Shaking Beef – Bò Lúc Lắc not too long ago. In my defense my son was over, so he helped out a lot with the eating. But still, we just couldn’t leave it be!
