In an appropriate size dish, place a

2 lb sirloin or flank steak

Pour sauce (reserve 1/4 cup) over steak
Cover, and allow to marinate overnight

Drain meat and slice into thin strips (I had the butcher do this for me, then I marinated the strips). Heat skillet over medium high. Add drained meat and:

Stir-fry just until meat is done, adding reserved marinade as needed to prevent sticking.
