Pepper-steak recipe my dad made..?
My dad used to make this "pepper steak" over white rice that was really good. I never made it before. He's in the hospital now so I can't call and ask him what was in it.
I remember that it had green bell peppers, sirloin tips, beef bullion cubes, cornstarch... that's all I remember, but it wasn't "proper" pepper steak with all the Asian ingredients.
Does anyone know how to make this? Nothing I found online sounded like it.

PEPPER STEAK
1 1/2 lbs. top beef round or sirloin steak, 3/4 to 1 inch thick
1/4 c. salad oil
1 c. water
1 medium onion, cut into 1/4 inch slices
1/2 tsp. garlic salt
1/4 tsp. ginger
2 medium green peppers, cut into 3/4 inch strips
1 tbsp. cornstarch
2 to 3 tsp. sugar, if desired
2 tbsp. soy sauce
2 medium tomatoes
Hot, cooked rice
Trim fat from meat; cut meat into strips, 2 x 1/4 inch. Heat oil in large skillet. Cook meat in oil, turning frequently, until brown, about 5 minutes. Stir in water, onion, garlic salt, and ginger. Heat to boiling. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 12 to 15 minutes for round steak, 5 to 8 minutes for sirloin. Add green pepper strips during last 5 minutes of simmering
Blend cornstarch, sugar, and soy sauce; stir into meat mixture. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and boils. Boil and stir 1 minute. Cut each tomato into eighths; place on meat mixture. Cover; cook over low heat just until tomatoes are heated through, about 3 minutes. Serve over rice. 4 or 5 servings.
