METHOD
- Preheat oven to 220°C / 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

- Drain water and transfer jicama slices to a large bowl. Toss with olive oil, paprika, onion powder, cayenne powder and salt.
- Place jicama slices on the baking sheet. Bake until crispy, turning halfway, about 35-45 minutes.
- Slice steak into thin strips. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add beef to skillet and season with salt.
- Cook until beef is just golden on the outside or to your desired internal temperature. Remove from skillet. Set aside.
- Using the same skillet, add onions and sauté until golden brown. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Slice baguette lengthwise, spread mustard on both sides of bread. Follow with slices of steak and Havarti cheese. Keep sandwich open and broil until cheese is bubbly and melted, about 2 minutes.
- Serve sandwich warm with jicama fries.
NOTES
- Serve fries with aioli or guacamole if desired
- Alternatively, you can use a mandolin to thinly slice the jicama
- Alternatively, sirloin and flank are good steak cuts for a sandwich
