     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.
