Directions:

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.

In a small bowl mix together catsup, 1/2 cup sugar, vinegar and chili
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.
