2 med. green peppers, cut into 3/4 inch strips
Instant white or brown rice
1 tbsp. cornstarch

Trim fat from meat; put meat into strips (2 x 1 x 1/4 inch). Heat oil in large skillet. Add meat; cook, turning frequently until brown, about 5 minutes. Stir in water, onion, garlic 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. While meat simmers, cook instant rice as directed on package for 4 or 6 servings.

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 and place on meat mixture. Cover; cook over low heat just until tomatoes are heated through, about 3 minutes. Serve with rice.
