-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 1/2 pound top round or sirloin steak
1 thin strips
boneless
1 cup celery -- thinly sliced
2 tablespoon oil
1/4 cup onions -- thinly sliced
1 clove garlic -- minced
1/2 cup coca-cola
1 teaspoon salt

2 1/2 tablespoon cornstarch

1/4 cup coca-cola
1 cup green bell pepper, cored
1 tablespoon soy sauce

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 overcooked; 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 thickens, about 1 minute, stirring lightly with a fork. Serve over hot rice. Makes 6 (3/4 cup) servings.
