Instructions
1
Prep
Pat beef sirloin cubes dry, then toss in a bowl with tamari, oyster sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, cornstarch, and half the black pepper until coated.
2
Marinate
Cover the bowl and let sit at room temperature 15 minutes.
3
Sear
Heat vegetable oil in a wok over high heat until smoking, then add beef cubes in a single layer and sear 90 seconds per side until deeply charred but still pink inside.
4
Saute
Push beef to one side, add minced garlic and thin onion wedges to the cleared space, and stir over high heat 45 seconds until onion softens and garlic turns golden.
5
Toss
Shake the wok vigorously to combine beef with onion and garlic, tossing 30 seconds until the sauce turns glossy and sticky.
6
Plate
Scatter watercress on a plate, spoon shaking beef and onions on top, sprinkle remaining black pepper, and serve with lime wedge alongside.
