I thought the sherry usually IS a substitute, for if you don't want to or can't get sake/rice wine. If you've neither and don't want to buy, you could probably just leave it out. Or maybe someone could suggest alternatives if we can have a look at what the recipe involves?

got rice wine vinegar? would that be ok?

I've used vodka before now for beef stirfry. It helps tenderise the meat and the alcohol burns off and it does not leave a flavour.

The vinegar will leave a powerful taste in the meat.

might just slap a bit of sesame oil in - getting hungry now:rotfl:

If your beef is tender then just skip it. You can add some water to the cooking process instead.
