1 c  Celery, thinly sliced 
      2 tb Oil                               1/4 c  Onions, thinly sliced 
      1    Clove garlic, minced              1/2 c  COCA-COLA 
      1 ts Salt                                2 md Tomatoes, ripe 
      1 c  Beef broth (bouillon),          2 1/2 tb Cornstarch 
           Canned and undiluted              1/4 c  COCA-COLA

  Trim all fat from the meat and cut into pencil-thin strips. In a deep 
  skillet or Dutch oven, heat oil, garlic, and salt. Add the meat and brown 
  over high heat, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally with a fork. Add 
  the beef broth. Cover and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the meat is 
  fork-tender. 
   
  Stir in the green pepper strips, celery, onions, and 1/2 cup of Coca-Cola. 
  Cover and simmer for 5 minutes.  Do not overcooked; the vegetables should 
  be tender-crisp.  Peel the tomatoes, cut into wedges, gently stir into 
  meat. 
   
  Blend cornstarch with the 1/4 cup of Coca-Cola and the soy sauce. Stir 
  mixture into the meat and cook until sauce is thickens, about 1 minute, 
  stirring lightly with a fork.  Serve over hot rice. Makes 6 (3/4 cup) 
  servings. Recipe: "International Cooking with Coca-Cola", a give-away
