Title: CHINESE PEPPER STEAK #1
Categories: Chinese, Beef, Coca-cola
Yield: 6 servings

1 1/2 lb Top Round Steak
2 tb Vegetable Oil
1 Clove Garlic, Minced
1 ts Salt
1 c Beef Broth
1 c Julienned Bell Pepper
1 c Thinly Sliced Celery
1/4 c Thinly Sliced Onion
1/2 c Coca-Cola
2 md Ripe Tomatoes
2 1/2 tb Cornstarch
1/4 c Coca-Cola
1 tb Soy Sauce
Hot Cooked Rice

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 1/2 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 1/4 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.
