  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon hoisin sauce
  • 1 ½ pounds beef top sirloin, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • ½ cup rice vinegar
  • 1 ½ tablespoons white sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoons salt

  • 1 lime, juiced
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons cooking oil
  • 2 bunches watercress, torn

Instructions

  • Whisk garlic, oyster sauce, 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar, fish sauce, sesame oil, soy sauce, and hoisin sauce together in a bowl; add beef. Marinate beef in refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
  • Whisk vinegar, 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar, and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt together in a bowl until vinaigrette is smooth; add onion. Refrigerate for 10 minutes to pickle the onion.
  • Whisk lime juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and black pepper together in a bowl until dipping sauce is smooth. Transfer dipping sauce to ramekins.
  • Heat cooking oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat until oil starts to smoke; add beef. Cook in a single layer until beef is seared, about 2 minutes. Cook and stir (or "shake") until beef reaches desired doneness, 2 to 4 minutes.
  • Spread watercress onto a serving plate and top with tomatoes. Drizzle vinaigrette over tomatoes and layer beef onto watercress; top with onion. Serve dipping sauce on the side.
