1 medium sweet potato, peeled and thinly sliced

1 lb (450 grams) Ontario veal scaloppini, cut into 1-inch thick strips

⅓ cup (85 mL) teriyaki sauce, divided

salt and pepper

2 tbsp (30 mL) canola oil

1 tbsp (15 mL) sesame seeds

⅓ cup (85 mL) mayonnaise

1 tsp (5 mL) prepared wasabi

4 soft sub rolls

1 avocado, thinly sliced

1 scallion, white and light green part thinly sliced

Steps:

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add sweet potato slices and cook until just tender, about 8 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Marinate veal strips in 1/4 cup (60 mL) teriyaki sauce and season with salt and pepper for 15 minutes. Heat oil in a skillet over high heat. Pat meat dry and sear in batches for 3 minutes, or until just cooked through. Transfer cooked meat to a clean bowl and toss with remaining teriyaki sauce and sesame seeds.

Meanwhile, whisk together mayonnaise and wasabi; set aside. To assemble, top the bottom buns with wasabi mayonnaise. Top with veal slices, sliced avocado, and sweet potato. Top with chopped scallions and remaining bun half.
