How to make meat loaf:

Preparation: With a very sharp knife, cut beef across grain into thin strips, 1/8-inch thick. Combine soy sauce, garlic and ginger. Add beef. Toss and set aside while preparing vegetables.

Heat oil in large frying pan or wok. Add beef and toss over high heat until browned. Taste meat. If it is not tender, cover and simmer for 30 to 40 minutes over low heat.

Mix cornstarch with water. Add to pan. Stir and cook until thickened. Add tomatoes and heat through.

Tips: You can prepare beef ahead and refrigerate just before adding the vegetables. Finish cooking later.

For 2 Servings: Halve the ingredients. You might need to add some water.

For 8 Servings: Double the ingredients, but reduce the water 1 3/4 cups. Add another 1/2 tablespoon cornstarch.

Preparation Time: 20 minutes. Cooking Time: 30 to 40 minutes.
