Ingredients

The Beef

1.5 lb sirloin steak 3/4" dice, fat cap trimmed
2 clove garlic smashed
1 medium red onion sliced on a radial
1 tbsp butter

The Marinade

2 tbsp fish sauce
2 tbsp maggi seasoning or equal parts soy sauce and Worcestershire
1 tbsp hoisin sauce
3 thai chili pepper chopped on a bias, optional
2 tbsp vegetable oil

The Salad

4 oz water cress (2 bunches of mainly leaves) rinsed, dried, thick stems removed
1/4 cup lime juice
1 tsp black pepper, fresh ground

The Rice

1 cup rice uncooked, rinsed
4 clove garlic smashed
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp tomato paste
1.5 cups chicken stock
2 tsp maggi seasoning or equal parts soy sauce and Worcestershire
1/2 tsp salt
3 green onion chopped for garnish (optional)

Instructions

The Beef

Combine the beef and marinade ingredients, toss thoroughly to coat and marinate at least 15 minutes
Once beef has marinated, bring a large skillet to medium-high heat, dump the beef and all marinade into the pan and stir fry on all sides, frequently shaking the pan, until deep brown, 5-8 minutes
Remove the beef to a bowl and set aside, leaving as much marinade in the pan as possible
Add the onions to the pan with the garlic and stir fry for 1 minute, scraping up all the beef fond from the pan until the onions begin to soften- we still want them to have snap, this cuts the bite raw red onions have
return the beef to the pan, toss to combine, then remove from heat

The Salad

Combine the dressing ingredients and set aside
Once beef is done and ready to serve, toss the watercress in the dressing and layer onto a large serving platter, top with the beef and any pan sauce
optionally garnish with green onion and/or more fresh chopped chilis (if you're daring), serve with red rice on the side

The Rice

in a sauce pot melt the butter on medium
add the tomato paste and garlic and saute until fragrant- 1 minute
Add the dry rice and fold together until no more tomato paste clumps and paste begins to darken- 2 mins
Add remaining ingredients, bring to a boil, reduce to medium-low, cover and cook to package instructions (10-20min)
optionally garnish with green onion
