In this burger-style take on the popular Vietnamese sandwich, we’re tossing crisp radishes and carrots together (with a touch of vinegar and sugar) to make a tangy slaw that tops juicy beef patties—all layered together with our creamy, spicy mayo on a toasted baguette.

Ingredients

oven

Place an oven rack in the center of the oven, then preheat to 450°F. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Line a sheet pan with foil. Cut off and discard the bottom ½ inch of the **broccoli** stem; cut the broccoli into small florets. Transfer to the foil. Drizzle with the **sesame oil** and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat; arrange in an even layer on one side of the sheet pan. Roast 10 minutes. Leaving the oven on, remove from the oven.

Prepare & roast the broccoli:

While the broccoli roasts, in a medium bowl, combine the **sugar** and **vinegar**. Peel the **carrots** and grate on the large side of a box grater. Halve the **radishes** lengthwise, then thinly slice crosswise. Transfer the prepared vegetables to the bowl of **sugar-vinegar mixture**; stir until the sugar dissolves. Set aside to marinate, stirring occasionally, at least 10 minutes. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. In a separate bowl, combine the **mayonnaise** and **as much of the sambal oelek as you’d like**, depending on how spicy you’d like the dish to be. Season with salt and pepper.

Marinate the vegetables & make the sambal mayo:

While the vegetables marinate, in a medium bowl, combine the **beef **and **up to half the curry powder** (you will have extra). Season with salt and pepper; gently mix to combine. Form the mixture into four equal-sized oval patties. In a large pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat a drizzle of **olive oil** on medium-high until hot. Add the patties and cook 3 to 4 minutes per side (flipping carefully, as the oil may splatter), or until browned and cooked through. Turn off the heat.

Form & cook the patties:

While the patties cook, halve the **baguettes**. Carefully place cut side up on the other side of the sheet pan of **roasted broccoli**. Drizzle with **olive oil** and season with salt and pepper. Return to the oven and bake 4 to 6 minutes, or until the baguettes are lightly browned and the broccoli is tender when pierced with a fork. Remove from the oven. Assemble the burgers using the **baked baguettes**, **sambal mayo**, **cooked patties**, and **marinated vegetables** (discarding any liquid). Serve the **burgers** with the **roasted broccoli** on the side. Enjoy!
