If you like, you can also add a bit of baking soda to tenderize the beef but it isn't vital. Marinate for 15 minutes.

• Mix together the sauce ingredients and set aside.
• Heat wok and add oil. When oil is ready, add the beef. Stir-fry until it changes color, and is evenly cooked. Remove from the wok and set aside. Clean out the wok and add more oil. Saute the onions, and add the tomatoes. Add the sauce. Return the beef to the wok and mix together, bringing to the boil. You may want to add a little water at this step. Once thickened and boiling remove from heat and serve immediately. You can either add some green onion as a garnish. Serve hot over rice.

• Heat a wok over medium-high to high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of oil to the heated wok. When the oil is hot, add the garlic. Cook briefly until aromatic, then add the beef. Let brown briefly, then stir-fry until it changes color and is 80 percent cooked through. Remove from the wok. Clean out the wok if necessary.
• Heat the wok and 1/2 tablespoon oil. Add the ginger. Stir-fry for a few seconds, then add the celery. Add the tomato. Sprinkle 2 teaspoons sugar and 1/4 teaspoon of salt over top. Cover and bring to a boil.
• Give the cornstarch/water mixture a quick re-stir. Uncover the wok and push the tomatoes up to the side. Add the cornstarch and water mixture in the middle, stirring quickly to thicken.
• Add the meat back into the pan. Mix everything together. Taste and adjust the seasonings if desired. Serve hot over rice.

• Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat, and place 1/3 of the steak strips into the hot oil. Cook and stir until the beef is well-browned, about 3 minutes, and remove the beef from the wok to a bowl. Repeat twice more, with the remaining beef, and set the cooked beef aside.
• Return all the cooked beef to the hot wok, and stir in the onion. Toss the beef and onion together until the onion begins to soften, about 2 minutes, then stir in the green pepper. Cook and stir the mixture until the pepper has turned bright green and started to become tender, about 2 minutes, then add the tomatoes, stir everything together, and serve.
