Sweet & Sour Beef

Ingredients:

1 lb. tender lean beef, cut into thin strips
1 T. cooking oil
1 green pepper, cut into ¼ inch strips
1 (15 oz.) can chunk pineapple, drained (reserve juice for sauce)
Hot cooked rice
Sauce
2 T. cornstarch
6 T. sugar
Pineapple juice, with water added to make 1 ½ cups
3 T. vinegar
2 T. soy sauce (or to taste)

Directions:

Mix cornstarch with sugar. Add pineapple-water, vinegar, and soy sauce. Boil together until thickened.
Brown beef strips lightly in oil. Add sauce and green pepper to beef strips and heat together until green pepper wilts but does not lose its color. Add pineapple chunks. Reheat and serve over cooked rice.
Note: I use broccoli in place of the green peppers sometimes
