SIRLOIN STRIPS OVER RICE

Sirloin Strips over Rice image

I found this recipe in a movie magazine some 20 years ago. It was the favorite of some male star, but I don't remember which one. Its great flavor and the fact that leftovers just get better have made it a family favorite! -Karen Dunn, Kansas City, Missouri
