Description

This Beef Sandwich with Pink Pickled Onions is a delightful blend of savory leftover beef, creamy avocado sauce, crisp green beans, and tangy pink pickled onions all sandwiched in a crisp demi baguette. Perfect for a quick, flavorful lunch that uses up leftovers creatively while delivering fresh, vibrant flavors.

Ingredients

Scale

Pickled Onions

  • ½ red onion, finely sliced
  • 60ml rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp caster sugar
  • ¼ tsp salt

Vegetables

  • 100g green beans

Sandwich Components

  • 1 demi baguette, halved
  • 60g-70g leftover avocado sauce
  • 300g leftover beef
  • handful of leftover spicy greens

Instructions

  1. Prepare Pickled Onions: Mix the finely sliced red onion with rice vinegar, caster sugar, and ¼ tsp salt. Set this mixture aside to lightly pickle for 20 minutes, allowing the onions to soften and develop a tangy flavor.
  2. Cook Green Beans: Bring a pan of salted water to a boil over medium heat. Carefully add the green beans and cook for 3-4 minutes until tender but still crisp. Immediately plunge the beans into a bowl of ice-cold water for 5 minutes to stop the cooking process, then drain thoroughly and pat dry to maintain their bright color and crisp texture.
  3. Assemble Sandwich: Halve the demi baguette and spread the avocado sauce over the base layer. Layer the leftover beef evenly on top, followed by the spicy greens. Add the cooked green beans and then top with the pink pickled onions. Close the sandwich by pressing the halves together.
  4. Serve: Enjoy immediately or keep chilled for up to a day to allow flavors to meld.

Notes

  • The sandwich keeps well chilled for up to one day, making it convenient for meal prep or packed lunches.
  • You can substitute rice vinegar with apple cider vinegar if unavailable.
  • If you don’t have leftover beef, grilled or roasted beef slices can be used as a substitute.
  • For added crunch, consider adding thinly sliced cucumber or radishes.
  • The avocado sauce adds creaminess and moisture; if unavailable, consider mashed avocado with a squeeze of lime.
