1 1/2 lb. boneless top round or sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch thin strips 1 C. celery, thinly sliced 2 T. oil 1/4 C. onions, thinly sliced 1 clove garlic, minced 1/2 C. Coca-Cola 1 tsp. salt 2 medium tomatoes, ripe 1 C. beef broth (bouillon) 2 1/2 T. cornstarch 1/4 C. Coca-Cola 1 C. green bell pepper, cored, seeded 1 T. 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 of Coca-Cola. Cover and simmer for 5 minutes. Do not overcook; the vegetables should be tender-crisp. Peel the tomatoes, cut into wedges, gently stir into meat.
Blend cornstarch with the 1/4 cup of Coca-Cola and the soy sauce. Stir mixture into the meat and cook until sauce is thickened, about 1 minute, stirring lightly with a fork. Serve over hot rice.
Yields 6 servings.
