| 1. Heat 1 cup oil in wok to deep-fry temperature, then deep-dry peanuts over medium-low heat until golden brown. | 2. Remove the peanuts with a slotted spoon or strainer and place on paper towels to drain and cool. | 3. Put the cooled peanuts in a small plastic bag or between two towels, then roll a rolling pin over them to crush coarsely; set crushed peanuts aside for later use. | 4. Mix the cayenne, Szechwan peppercorn, sugar, garlic, vinegar, black soy sauce, and sesame oil in a bowl. | 5. Remove all but two tablespoons of oil from the wok. Heat this oil, and when it is hot, add the ground beef. | 6. Stir and cook the beef until done. | 7. Stir in the bean sauce, then the sauce mixture you have just made. | 8. Mix well, then turn off the heat. | 9. This meat sauce can be prepared a few hours in advance. | 10. Fill a big pot with enough water to cover your piece of beef. | 11. Add the bay leaves to the water and bring to a rapid boil. | 12. Add meat and cook over medium heat until done to your taste - medium rare should be about 10 minutes. | 13. Remove meat and pat dry. | 14. Place the meat on a cutting board and slice into thin pieces, as you would for roast beef. | 15. Arrange the slices on a serving platter, slightly overlapping each other. | 16. Garnish with celery, scallions, red pepper, and watercress. | 17. Pour the meat sauce over evenly, then sprinkle crushed peanuts on top. | 18. Serve at room temperature, perhaps with noodles. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
