Gather @beef sirloin{600%g}, @red onion{1}, @sunflower oil{2%tbsp} and @black pepper{1%tsp}.

Marinate the beef cubes with the @oyster sauce{2%tbsp}, @soy sauce{2%tbsp}, @fish sauce{1%tbsp}, @sugar{1%tbsp} and @garlic{4%clove} for 30 minutes at room temperature. ~{30%minutes}

Mix the @salt{0.5%tsp} and half the pepper on a saucer and squeeze over the @lime{1} — this is the dip.

Spread the @watercress{1%bunch} over a platter.

Heat the oil in a wok until smoking and add the beef in a single layer. Leave it alone for a full minute to crust. ~{1%minutes}

Now shake: toss the wok so the cubes roll and sear on all faces, about 3 minutes for medium-rare, adding the onion petals for the last minute. ~{3%minutes}

Tumble the beef and onions over the watercress, crack over the rest of the pepper, and serve with rice and the lime-pepper dip.
