Beef with Bell Peppers and Tomatoes is an unusual American Chinese recipe reconstructed from memory. As a child, Vito’s parents would often take him and his siblings to dine out at the New Moon Chinese Restaurant in Union City, NJ; this dish was among Vito’s favorites on the menu. Vito was fascinated by the use of tomatoes in it, which he can’t recall ever seeing on any Chinese restaurant menu in those days. Beef with Bell Peppers and Tomatoes is different and delicious.
