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

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.
