A: Sirloin tip steak + jasmine rice + stir-fry veggies + tamari-ginger sauce. 50g protein, 560 kcal, $5.50 per serving — cheaper and cleaner than takeout.

For lifters wanting variety beyond chicken, sirloin tip is the budget-friendliest beef cut that meal-preps well. Slice thin, marinate briefly, stir-fry hot and fast. Pairs with jasmine rice and a quick veg medley. Mutant Whey bookends the day — protein shake for breakfast, this lunch, then dinner whatever you choose.

Tips From the TNF Kitchen

• Slice steak against the grain — texture difference is huge.
• Don't crowd the pan — beef steams instead of sears. Cook in 2 batches if needed.
• Cornstarch slurry is what gives stir-fry that takeout glossy sauce.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is sirloin tip a tender cut?

Lean and chewy when overcooked, tender when seared hot and sliced thin. Handle it like flank steak — slice thin, cook hot, serve fast.

Can I make this gluten-free?

Yes — use tamari (gluten-free soy sauce) and check your cornstarch label.

How does this compare to chicken bowls for cost?

About $5.50 per serving vs $4 for chicken bowls — worth it for variety and creatine-rich red meat once a week.
