Beef with Tomatoes 
A savory dish that is quick and easy to make.   

Ingredients
3/4 pound beef

Marinade
1/2 tablespoon soy sauce
pepper to taste
cornstarch to lightly coat beef

4 medium tomatoes
2 green onions
3 shallots

Sauce
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1/3 cup water

Directions
Cut the beef across the grain into thin slices approximately 1 1/2 inches long.  Place the beef in a bowl, add the marinade ingredients and mix in with chopsticks, adding the cornstarch last. If you like, you can also add a bit of baking soda to tenderize the beef. Marinate for 15 minutes. 
While the beef is marinating, prepare the vegetables.  Dice the shallots and slice the tomatoes into six equal pieces. Slice the green onions into thin slices along the diagonal.
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, turning the meat over once.  Remove from the wok and set aside.  Clean out the wok and add more oil.  Sauté the shallots, and add the tomatoes.  Add the sauce. Return the beef to the wok and mix together.  You can either add the green onion as well or serve it cold as a garnish.  Serve hot over rice.
