Cut partially frozen beef into thin slices, then julienne into a fine shred (cutting beef while part frozen keeps meat thinner); set aside.
Mix bean paste, soy sauce, rice wine, sugar, and ginger; pour over beef in shallow dish or plastic bag, coating meat well.
Marinate meat 2 hours.
Cut celery, carrot, and green pepper into thin shreds; cut onion into thin slivers, and set aside. Heat 1 tbsp butter or olive oil in wok and add dried chilies and minced garlic; cook until aromatic, then add vegetables.
Stir-fry vegetables 2 minutes then remove from wok. Add 1-2 tbsp butter or olive oil to wok, heat to high then add meat; stir-fry until meat is dark and slightly crispy at edges; keep meat pieces separated.
Return vegetables to wok; mix well; stir in 2-3 tbsp. Heart Shape Szechuan Seasoning Oil and sesame oil. Serve with steamed rice.
