- 1 pound top round beef strips
- ¼ cup orange juice or pineapple juice
- Juice of 2 limes or 1 lemon
- 2 tablespoon soy sauce, GF tamari, or 4 tablespoon coconut aminos

- 3 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger or 1 teaspoon powdered ginger

Notes
Storage and Reheating
To store leftover top sirloin, stir fry it, transfer it to an airtight container, and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
To reheat, gently warm it in a skillet over medium heat with a splash of water or broth to prevent drying out, stirring occasionally until heated. Consume within a day or two for best results.
