GREEN PEPPER STEAK

INGREDIENTS FOR 4 SERVINGS:1 pound steak (use chuck, round or filet mignon) with the fat trimmed

1/4 cup soy sauce (Silver Swan brand is the best. Find it at Asian Food Stores)

2-3 cloves garlic

1/2 tsp. ground ginger

1/4 cup canola oil (or vegetable oil)

1 cup green onion or leek thinly sliced

1 cup green peppers (can use red or yellow too) cut into 1 inch squares & thinly sliced

1 tbsp. cornstarch

1 cup water

2 tomatoes, cut into wedges

Preparation:

1. Cut steak across grain into thin strips.
2. Combine soy sauce, garlic & ginger. Add beef. Toss and refrigerate, I love the overnight marinade flavour. When ready to cook, heat oil in large frying pan or wok. Add meat and toss over high heat until browned.
3. After meat is cooked, add the peppers only and cook until tender crisp.(Around 8 or 9 minutes)
4. Mix cornstarch with water. Add to pan; stir and cook until thickened.
5. Add tomatoes and heat through.

For 8 servings: Double the ingredients but reduce the water to 1¾ cups. Add another ½ Tbsp. cornstarch.
