Ingredients
- 1 lb sirloin ribeye, or filet mignon, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tsp fish sauce
- 1 tbsp honey or sugar
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 medium red onion thinly sliced
- 1 bell pepper red, green, or yellow, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 small bunch of watercress or lettuce
- 1 tomato sliced
- 2 green onions chopped
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp soy sauce for finishing touch
Instructions
- Marinate the beef for at least 30 minutes in soy sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce, honey, rice vinegar, garlic, and black pepper.
- Prepare vegetables by slicing the onions, bell peppers, and tomatoes. Set the watercress or lettuce aside.
- Heat oil in a wok over high heat. Cook beef in batches for about 2-3 minutes, shaking the wok to sear the meat evenly.
- Add butter and sliced onions, stirring until fragrant.
- Remove the beef and vegetables from the wok. Drizzle soy sauce over the beef and serve it over a bed of watercress, garnished with green onions.
Notes
- Adjust the marinade to suit your taste—add more honey for sweetness or extra black pepper for a bolder kick.
- Ensure your wok or skillet is very hot to achieve a perfect sear on the beef.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days in the refrigerator.
