Ingredients
- 1 pound beef sirloin cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 red onion thinly sliced, small
- 1 watercress or mixed salad greens, bunch
- 1 tomato sliced, large
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the beef cubes with the soy sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, and black pepper. Marinate for 30 minutes.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add the beef in a single layer, searing for 30 seconds before shaking or stirring to cook the other sides until browned. You only want to cook the beef about 2 minutes total.
- Remove the beef from the heat and let it rest. In the same pan, quickly sauté the red onion slices until just softened.
- Arrange the watercress or salad greens and tomato slices on a serving platter. Top with the seared beef and sautéed onions.
