Put oil into pan; cut steak into strips. Brown beef. Add garlic; cook until yellow. Add soy sauce, salt and 1/4 cup water. Cook on low heat 45 minutes (may have to add a little more water to keep from scorching). Add vegetables; cook for 10 minutes. Stir in cornstarch, blended with 2 cups water. Add tomatoes. Cook for 5 minutes longer. Serve over cooked rice. Good on mashed potatoes or noodles also.
