1½ pounds | Top Round Steak |
2 tablespoons | Vegetable Oil |
1 \N | Clove Garlic, Minced |
1 teaspoon | Salt |
1 cup | Beef Broth |
1 cup | Julienned Bell Pepper |
1 cup | Thinly Sliced Celery |

2 mediums | Ripe Tomatoes |
2½ tablespoon | Cornstarch |

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 Coca-Cola. Cover and simmer for 5 minutes. Do not overcook; the vegetables should be crisp-tender.
Peel the tomatoes; cut into wedges and gently stir into meat mixture.
Blend cornstarch with ¼ cup of Coca-Cola and the soy sauce. Stir into the meat mixture until the sauce thickens, about 1 minute, stirring lightly with a fork. Serve over hot rice. From: "International Cooking with Coca-Cola", a give-away pamphlet from The Coca-Cola Company, 1981.
