Do you do mean the crispy shredded beef?? i love that too, tried to re-create it once and it all went wrong and was soggy shredded beef instead. I think the key is to have the oil dangerously hot, or just simply get it from the Chinese. Here's one here anyway http://chinese.curry-recipes.net/hotfried-shredded-beef.html
Good luck

it is basically thinstrips of beef coated in a very light batter (almost nothing), deep fried or stir fried in a very hot wok with onions and a peking type sauce, you can buy a Sharwoods version of the sauce.
