1
Toast the Vietnamese banh mi roll in the toaster oven until the outside is crispy and the inside remains soft.
2
Shape the sliced Wagyu beef into a patty roughly matching the width of the bread.
3
Season the beef with salt, MSG, and freshly ground black pepper.
4
Place the beef on a very hot griddle and press down firmly to create good contact, allowing it to develop a brown crust.
5
While the beef sears, add sliced onions to the beef fat on the griddle to cook together.
6
Continue cooking the beef until it develops a thick, crunchy crust throughout.
7
Melt the American cheese over the beef.
8
Chop and fold the cheesy beef and onions together, incorporating the hot pickled peppers.
9
