2 tablespoons canola oil
2 teaspoons fresh ground black pepper
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1 1/2 - 2 lbs filet mignon, cut into 1-inch cubes
1/2 cup canola oil (for stir-frying)
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
1 cup thinly sliced red onion
3 green onions, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 bunch watercress
Stir-fry Sauce
1/4 cup light soy sauce
1/4 cup mirin rice wine
1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons fish sauce

1
In a bowl, combine 2 tablespoons canola oil with the pepper, salt and sugar. Add the cubed filet mignon.
2
Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.
3
Meanwhile, combine all the ingredients for the stir-fry sauce and mix well.
4
Divide the meat in two. (You will cook it in two batches.).
5
Place a pan over high heat until hot. Add 4 tablespoons of canola oil, or enough to coat the bottom of the pan.
6
Place about half the beef in the pan so that none of the pieces overlap. (Be careful - the oil may splatter.) Cook 1 1/2 - 2 minutes on each side for medium doneness.
7
With the meat still in the pan, drain most of the oil, leaving about 1 tablespoon. Add half the garlic and stir. Add half the red and green onions and cook about 30 seconds. Add half the stir-fry sauce and cook 1 minute. Add half the butter and toss the ingredients in the pan until the butter is melted. Remove the beef and keep warm.
8
Repeat with the second batch of meat.
9
To Serve: Place the watercress in the center of a serving platter and spoon the beef over top.
10
Combine the salt and pepper in a small bowl and squeeze the lime juice into it to create a dipping sauce. Serve immediately.
