Cut beef across the grain into thin strips, about 1/8-inch thick. In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce, garlic, ginger. Add beef. Toss and set aside.

Heat oil in a large skillet or wok. Add beef and cook, stirring constantly, over high heat until browned. Check meat for tenderness. If meat is still tough, cover and simmer for 20 to 30 minutes longer over low heat. Turn heat up and add vegetables. Cook, stirring, until vegetables are tender but still crisp, about 10 minutes.

Mix cornstarch with water; add to skillet. Cook and stir until mixture is thickened. Add tomatoes and heat through.
