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

  • 1-1/2 pounds beef top sirloin steak, cut into thin strips
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil, divided
