Trim fat from meat; cut meat into strips, 2 x 1/4 inch. Heat oil in large skillet. Cook meat in oil, turning frequently, until brown, about 5 minutes.

Stir in water, onion, garlic salt and ginger. Heat to boiling. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 12 to 15 minutes for round steak, 5 to 8 minutes for sirloin. Add green pepper strips during last 5 minutes of simmering.

Blend cornstarch, sugar and soy sauce; stir into meat mixture. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and boils. Boil and stir 1 minute.

Cut each tomato into eighths; place on meat mixture. Cover; cook over low heat just until tomatoes are heated through, about 3 minutes. Serve over rice. 4 to 5 servings.
