2. Sear the Meat:

   • In a deep skillet or Dutch oven, heat oil over medium-high heat.
   • Add minced garlic and salt to the hot oil, and sauté until fragrant.

4. Add Vegetables and Coca-Cola:

   • Stir in the green pepper strips, chopped celery, sliced onions, and 4 fluid ounces of Coca-Cola.
   • Cover and simmer for an additional 5 minutes. Be careful not to overcook; the vegetables should be crisp-tender.
