How do I store leftover Sautéed Sirloin Strips with Garlic and Ginger Stir Fry?

Cool to room temperature within 2 hours, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat covered in a 350°F oven for 10-12 minutes, or microwave at 70% power in 60-second bursts to keep sirloin steak, thinly sliced from drying out.

Can I substitute ingredients in Sautéed Sirloin Strips with Garlic and Ginger Stir Fry?
