Step 1

While rice is cooking, pound steak to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut into 1/4 inch wide strips. Sprinkle meat with paprika and allow to stand while preparing other ingredients. Using a large skillet, brown meat in butter. Add garlic and broth. Cover and simmer 30 minutes. Stir in onions and green peppers. Cover and cook 5 minutes more. Blend cornstarch, water and soy sauce. Stir into meat mixture. Cook, stirring, until clear and thickened - about 2 minutes. Add tomatoes and stir gently. Serve over beds of fluffy rice.
