Pepper Steak

This is another one of my favorites. My mom used to make this for me when I was growing up and it's actually very healthy! I normally eat this over rice if I am having it for lunch but if I have it for dinner I just eat it like a soup. It's just as awesome without the rice!

Ingredients:
1 round steak or flank steak cut into small cubes or strips
2 cloves garlic minced
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 1/2 cups water
2 bell peppers cut into small pieces
1 can whole tomatoes
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tbs corn starch
2 tbs extra virgin olive oil

Brown steak in olive oil, add garlic and cook until yellow. Add all other ingredients except cornstarch. Be sure to break up tomatoes with your hands and add the juice from the tomatoes also. Bring to a boil then reduce heat and cover. Continue to cook for 30 mins.
Mix cornstarch with 1/2 cup water. Use this to thicken gravy but be sure not to use all at once. You may not need it all.
Serve over rice....... Or not!
