     In a bowl mix well soy sauce, sherry and 1 tsp sugar; add meat and   
     toss to coat. Marinate meat for at least 15 minutes, tossing   
     occasionally. Drain meat; reserving the marinade for sauce. In a   
     large heavy skillet or wok, heat a little oil until hot but not   
     smoking. Over medium-high heat stir-fry meat for about 1 minute or   
     till almost done. Remove meat, set aside and keep warm.

     paste. In another bowl mix 1/2 cup water and cornstarch.   
      
     Add the carrot and any broccoli stem pieces to the skillet and stir   
     fry for 1 or 2 minutes, add the onion and garlic and stir fry for   
     about 1 more minute. Add 1/2 cup of the water and cook for a few   
     minutes more till carrot is almost crisp tender. Add a little   
     additional oil if necessary. Add green pepper and any broccoli   
     florets and cook an additional 1 or 2 minutes. Stir in reserved   
     marinade. Stir in the catsup mixture and heat through. Add   
     cornstarch/water mixture and cook and stir till sauce bubbles and   
     thickens. Fold in meat and grapefruit sections. Serve immediately.

     Mardi's notes: I got the original for this recipe from Woman's Day   
     Magazine, February 1981 but made a few modifications. The original   
     called for the meat slices to be coated with additional cornstarch   
     before browning and used 1/4 tsp black pepper instead of the chili   
     paste. I added the broccoli and doubled the amount of carrot because   
     it seemed to need more veggies. The vegetables could be varied   
     according to your preference. Cauliflower, snow peas and mushrooms   
     would likely all be good additions.   
      
     You may find the taste to be on the sweet side but it was well   
     received by my tasters. It would be a simple matter to cut back on   
     the amount of sugar. You could maybe start with 1/4 or 1/3 cup sugar   
     and add more if needed.
