Green Pepper Steak - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 lb beef chuck, fat trimmed or 1 lb beef, round fat trimmed
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 garlic clove
1 1/2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger or 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 cup vegetable oil or 1/4 cup canola oil
1 cup thinly sliced green onion
1 cup red bell peppers (or use a combination of both) or 1 cup green bell pepper, cut into 1-inch squares (or use a combination of both)
2 stalks celery, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 cup water
2 tomatoes, cut into wedges

Preparation

Slice beef across grain into thin strips, about 1/8-inch-thick.
Combine soy sauce, garlic, and ginger; add beef. Toss and set aside while preparing vegetables.
Heat oil in large skillet or wok. Add beef and stir-fry over high heat until browned. Check beef for tenderness. If it is not tender, reduce heat to low heat and simmer, covered, for 30-40 minutes until tender.
Turn heat up and add green onion, peppers, and celery. Stir-fry until vegetables are crisp-tender, about 10 minutes.
Mix cornstarch with water. Add to pan; stir and cook until thickened.
Add tomatoes and heat through.
