8 diagonally cut slices French bread -- 1/2 inch thick
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
3/4 pound beef sirloin or flank steak -- cut into thin strips
1 tablespoon olive or vegetable oil
1 small green bell pepper -- sliced
1 clove garlic -- finely chopped (1 to 2 cloves)
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes with Indian-style herbs -- undrained
1 (8 ounce) can pizza sauce
1 (4 1/2 ounce) jar sliced mushrooms -- drained
|Set oven control to broil. Place bread slices on ungreased cookie sheet.
Spray bread with cooking spray; sprinkle with cheese. Broil with tops 4 to
6 inches from heat 1 to 2 minutes or until light brown; set aside.

Cut beef into thin strips (beef is easier to cut if partially frozen,
about 1 1/2 hours). Heat oil in 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high
heat. Cook beef, bell pepper and garlic in oil, stirring occasionally,
until beef is brown. Stir in tomatoes, pizza sauce and mushrooms. Cook 2
to 4 minutes or until hot.

Place 2 toasted bread slices on each of 4 serving plates; top with beef
mixture.
