Trim fat from beef. Partially freeze beef. Thinly slice across the grain
into bite-size strips. Set aside.
Cover mushrooms with warm water; let soak for 30 minutes. Rinse; squeeze to
drain thoroughly. Slice thinly, discarding stems. Set aside.
For sauce, in a small bowl combine bean sauce or paste, sherry, soy sauce,
crushed Szechwan peppers or black peppercorns, cornstarch, and chili oil.
Set aside.
Spray a wok or large skillet with nonstick spray coating. Heat over medium
heat. Stir-fry carrots and garlic for 2 minutes. Add broccoli; stir-fry for
2 minutes. Add the mushrooms and bamboo shoots; stir-fry for 1 to 2
minutes more or till vegetables are crisp-tender. Remove the vegetables.
Add cooking oil to the hot wok or skillet. Add half the beef and stir-fry
for 2 to 3 minutes or to desired doneness. Remove beef. Repeat with
remaining beef. Return all beef to the wok or skillet, pushing it from the
center.
