Ingredients

  • 1 1/2-lb beef top round or sirloin steak, 3/4 to 1 inch thick
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 medium onion, cut into 1/4-inch slices
  • 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon finely chopped gingerroot or 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 2 medium green bell peppers, cut into 3/4-inch strips
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 teaspoons sugar, if desired
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 medium tomatoes
  • 6 cups hot cooked rice

Instructions

  • Step 
    1
    Remove fat from beef. Cut beef into 2x1/4-inch strips. (Beef is easier to cut if partially frozen, 30 to 60 minutes.)
  • Step 
    2
    In 12-inch skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Cook beef in oil about 5 minutes, turning frequently, until brown.
  • Step 
    3
    Stir in water, onion, garlic and gingerroot. Heat to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer 12 to 15 minutes for round steak, 5 to 8 minutes for sirloin steak, adding bell peppers during last 5 minutes of simmering, until beef is tender and peppers are crisp-tender.
  • Step 
    4
    In small bowl, mix cornstarch, sugar and soy sauce; stir into beef mixture. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and boils. Boil and stir 1 minute; reduce heat to low.
  • Step 
    5
    Cut each tomato into 8 wedges; place on beef mixture. Cover and cook over low heat about 3 minutes or just until tomatoes are heated through. Serve with rice.
