Green Pepper Steak

Ingredients

• 1 lb beef chuck or round, fat trimmed
• ¼ cup soy sauce
• 1 clove garlic
• 1½ tsp grated fresh ginger (or ½ tsp ground)
• 1½ cup salad oil
• 1 cup green onion, thinly sliced
• 1 cup red or green peppers, 1-inch squares
• 2 stalks celery, thinly sliced
• 1 tbsp cornstarch
• 1 cup water
• 2 tomatoes, cut into wedges

Steps

1. Cut beef across the grain into thin strips, ⅛-inch thick. Toss with soy sauce, garlic, ginger; set aside while you prep vegetables.
2. Heat oil in large pan or wok. Add beef; toss over high heat until browned. If not tender, cover and simmer 30–40 min over low heat.
3. Turn heat up; add vegetables. Toss until tender-crisp, ~10 min.
4. Mix cornstarch with water; add to pan. Stir and cook until thickened. Add tomatoes and heat through. Serve.
