This entree works best like a TV food show.   You prepare a few things separately, then combine them in the end. Read through well, then cook it up. ♥ Dice up 1 to 2 cups tomatoes ♥ Dice up two green peppers (remove the insides) ♥ In a bowl mix: 3 cups beef broth (from scratch 3 c water + 3 tsp beef bouillon) 1/2 c soy sauce 1 tsp garlic powder ♥ Reserve 1/2 c of beef broth sauce .  Add to this, 3 TBS cornstarch and mix until smooth. ♥ 2 lbs steak meat (stew meat works too), cut up into bite size pieces 1/4 reg. size onion, diced 1 TBS Worcestershire sauce Fry meat and onion in sauce, on med. heat in a large skillet until half way cooked through.  Add the 3 cups of beef broth sauce.  Bring to a boil, but not to fast.
