1 1/2 pounds Top round or sirloin steak Boneless 2 tablespoons Oil 1 Clove garlic -- minced 1 teaspoon Salt 1 cup Beef broth 1 cup Green bell pepper -- cut in 1/2" strips 1 cup Celery -- thinly sliced 1/4 cup Onions -- thinly sliced 1/2 cup COCA-COLA 2 medium Tomatoes -- ripe 2 1/2 tablespoons Cornstarch 1/4 cup COCA-COLA 1 tablespoon Soy sauce Rice -- cooked and hot
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.
