Steps:
- Cut flank steak into thin strips about 2 inches long.

- In a small bowl, combine the broth, cornstarch, soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar and ketchup; set aside.
- Place wok over high heat and add 1/4 cup of oil (or less). Stir fry beef for 2 to 3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to a large bowl. Add remaining 1/4 cup of oil and heat.
- Add green onions and green pepper and stir fry for 1 minute. Add tomatoes and stir-fry for another minute. Add broth mixture and cook for 1 minute, or until it thickens slightly. Add beef and mix well.
- Serve over jasmine rice.
- Note: use oil portion at your discretion. Chinese cooking can be greasy but if you are watching your diet, use just enough oil to coat the meat, and prevent it from burning.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, ripe tomatoes and tender beef are essential for a flavorful stir-fry. Look for tomatoes that are deep red and have no blemishes. Choose beef that is well-marbled and cut against the grain for extra tenderness.
- Marinate the beef: Marinating the beef in a mixture of soy sauce, rice wine, and cornstarch helps to tenderize it and infuse it with flavor. Be sure to let the beef marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
- Use a well-seasoned wok: A well-seasoned wok helps to prevent the food from sticking and allows for even cooking. If you don't have a wok, you can use a large skillet or sauté pan.
- Cook the beef in batches: Don't overcrowd the wok or skillet when cooking the beef. Cook it in batches to ensure that it cooks evenly and doesn't steam.
- Add the vegetables last: The vegetables should be added to the wok or skillet towards the end of the cooking process. This helps to ensure that they remain crisp and tender.
- Use a cornstarch slurry to thicken the sauce: A cornstarch slurry is a mixture of cornstarch and water that is added to the stir-fry sauce to thicken it. Be sure to add the cornstarch slurry slowly, while stirring constantly, to avoid lumps.
Conclusion:
This tomato beef stir-fry is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is packed with flavor. The tender beef, fresh tomatoes, and crisp vegetables are all cooked in a delicious sauce that is sure to please everyone at the table. Serve it over rice or noodles for a complete meal.
