Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1½ pounds Top round or sirloin steak,
Boneless
2 tablespoons Oil
1 Clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Salt
1 cup Beef broth (bouillon),
Canned and undiluted
1 cup Green bell pepper, cored,

½ cup COCA-COLA
2 mediums Tomatoes, ripe
2½ tablespoon Cornstarch
¼ cup COCA-COLA
1 tablespoon Soy sauce
Rice, cooked and hot

Directions

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 ½ 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 ¼ 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 (¾ cup) servings. Recipe: "International Cooking with Coca-Cola", a give-away
