Pepper Steak

I thought I would try out a new recipe. I like this one. Jeron loved it. He said the flavor of the meat was amazing. The kids liked it but it isn't on their top 10. I got this recipe out of the Worldwide Ward Cookbook.

1 lb. beef chuck or round, fat trimmed
1/4 C. soy sauce
1 clove garlic
1 1/2 tsp. fresh ginger
1/4 c olive oil
1 c green onion, thinly sliced
1/2 c red bell pepper, cut into 1 inch squares
1/2 c green bell pepper, cut into 1 inch squares
2 stalks celery, thinly sliced
1 T cornstarch
1 c water
2 tomatoes, cut into wedges

Cut beef across the grain into 1/2 inch thick strips. In a medium bowl, mix soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and beef. Set aside. I think you could marinate it for a while if you would like. Heat the oil in a wok or large fry pan. Add the beef mixture and cook over high heat until beef is browned. Simmer over low heat for 3- minutes until beef is tender. Add the vegetables and cook over high heat for 10 minutes. Combine the cornstarch with water and add to the pan. Stir and cook until the sauce thickens. Stir in the tomatoes and cook through. Makes 4 servings. I served it over rice. Enjoy.
