Instructions
Carrot and Daikon Pickling
Thinly slice the carrots and daikon into matchstick-size pieces
Mix together the pickling ingredients in a medium-sized bowl - sugar, vinegar, salt, warm water. Let sit.
Boil 2-3 cups of water over high heat on the stove.
Once water is boiling take off heat place the carrots and daikon into the water for 3-5 minutes
Drain the carrots and daikon and then add them into the sugar and vinegar mixture you prepared. Allow it to sit for at least an hour before eating.
Ribeye
Add the thinly sliced ribeye and all the seasonings into a Medium-Large bowl. Mix together well and then let sit for 30 minutes to marinate.
Once ready to cook heat your skillet on medium-high heat. Add the meat to skillet once hot. Meat will cook for 2-3 minutes (browning it but not burning it!). If you are using a non-stick pan you will use less oil, if you are using a cast iron pan you will need more oil to fry up meat otherwise it will stick
Bread
Heat pan to medium or medium-high melt the 2 tablespoons of butter. Place the bread on the pan toast until desired crispiness.
Assembling
Take all your ingredients (bread, meat, carrots and daikon, fried egg, mayo, cucumber, cilantro, jalapeno) and assemble a sandwich!

Notes
Majority of the carb (3g net per slice) is coming from the bread so you can have fewer carbs by using less bread or just make it into a banh mi bowl. BUT the sandwich is SOOO GOOD :D
