Steps:

• Soak dried mushrooms in warm water for 30 minutes. Drain and slice, trimming off any tough bits. Set aside.
• In a large skillet or wok brown the steak over high heat with 1/2 tablespoon oil, 2 minutes each side. Remove the meat from the skillet and quickly slice into 1 inch cubes, retaining the meat juices. Set aside in a bowl.
• Add remaining oil to the skillet, and stir-fry together the dried mushrooms, garlic, gingerroot, fresh mushrooms, snow peas, water chestnuts, and bamboo shoots for 2 minutes.
• Add soy sauce, sherry, hoisin, and sugar and stir-fry for 1 minute.
• Add cubed meat and juices and stir-fry for 2 minutes.
• Remove and discard the garlic and ginger slices.
• Serve with fluffy, cooked white rice.

Steps:

• Cut steak into 1 1/2" cubes. Toss with minced garlic, ginger, and scallions. Let stand 15 minutes. Meanwhile, soak black mushrooms in 1/3 cup warm water until soft, about 10 minutes. Drain, reserving water for sauce. Remove and discard stems. Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add snow peas and cook until bright green, about 2 seconds. Drain and rinse under cold running water. In a small bowl, combine oyster sauce, soy sauce, sugar, cornstarch, and reserved water from mushrooms. Blend thoroughly. Set sauce aside. In a wok, heat oil over high heat until smoking. Add beef cubes and stir fry until lightly browned outside but still rare inside, 2 to 3 minutes. Add mushrooms, snow peas, and sauce mixture. Return to a boil and cook, tossing to mix well, until sauce thickens, 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and serve.
