Chinese Pepper Steak

Directions

Trim all fat from the meat and cut into pencil thin strips.

In a deep skillet or Dutch oven, heat oil, garlic and salt.

Add the meat and brown over high heat, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally with a fork.

Add the beef broth.

Cover and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the meat is fork-tender.

Stir in the green pepper strips, celery, onions and ½ cup Coca-Cola.

Cover and simmer for 5 minutes. Do not overcook; the vegetables should be crisp-tender.

Peel the tomatoes, cut into wedges and gently stir into meat mixture.

Blend cornstarch with ¼ cup of Coca-Cola and the soy sauce.

Stir into the meat mixture until the sauce thickens, about 1 minute, stirring lightly with a fork.

Serve over hot rice.
