Chinese Pepper Steak

1-1.5 lb London Broil or round steak

2 T oil

1 clove garlic

½ tsp salt

freshly ground pepper

½ C soy sauce

1 tsp sugar

¼ C water

1 C fresh or canned tomatoes, cut-up

2 green peppers seeded and cut into strips

1 ½ C bean sprouts

Directions:

Slice steak into narrow strips (it is easier to slice meat when it is partially frozen, icy). In a skillet, brown steak in oil. Combine with garlic, salt, pepper, soy sauce, and sugar in slow cooking pot. Cook on low for 6-8 hours. Turn control to high. Add water, bean sprouts, tomatoes, and green peppers. Cover and cook on high for 15-20 minutes. Pour off juices into a small sauce pan and thicken with cornstarch to the consistency of gravy. Pour back onto pepper steak and serve over rice.
