2 lb. beef, cut into 2 x 1/4 inch thick strips
1/2 c. melted butter
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 c. onion, cut into strips
2 med. green peppers, cut into strips
1 (16 oz.) can stewed tomatoes
1 pkg. au jus gravy mix
1 tbsp. cornstarch mixed with 1/4 c. water
3 tbsp. soy sauce
1 tsp. sugar
1 tsp. salt (optional)

Round or sirloin tip steak is best. TIP: Beef is easier to slice into strips, if partially frozen. Salt is optional, because soy sauce contains alot of sodium.

Add beef to hot melted butter in large skillet, sprinkle with garlic powder and cook until browned. Remove meat. Add onions and green pepper. Saute for 2 minutes; return meat to skillet; sprinkle with au jus gravy mix. Add tomatoes and simmer about 5 minutes.

Blend together cornstarch, water, soy sauce, sugar and salt. Stir into meat mixture and cook until sauce thickens. Serve immediately over rice.
