12 ounces lean ground beef

3/4 cup finely diced red bell pepper

3/4 cup chopped onions

1/4 cup plain dry breadcrumbs

4 tablespoons hoisin sauce, divided

2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger

3 teaspoons canola oil, divided

4 bunches or 2 4-ounce bags watercress, trimmed {16 cups}

1/2 cup shao hsing rice wine or dry sherry

1.  place rack in upper third of oven; preheat the broiler.  coat a broiler pan and rack with cooking spray.

2.  gently mix beef, bell pepper, inions, breadcrumbs, 3 tablespoons hoisin sauce and ginger in a medium bowl until just combined.  form the mixture into 4 oblong patties and place on the broiler pan rack.  brush the tops of the patties with 1 teaspoon oil.  broil, flipping once, until cooked through, about 4 minutes per side.

3.  meanwhile, heat the remaining 2 teaspoons oil in a large skillet over high heat.  add watercress and cook, stirring often, until just wilted, 1 to 3 minutes.  divide the watercress among 4 plates.  return the skillet to medium-high heat, add rice wine {or sherry} and the remaining 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce and stir until smooth, bubbling and slightly reduce, about 1 minute.  top the watercress with the salisbury steaks and drizzle with the pan sauce.
