Note
For best results, slice the round steak thinly against the grain to ensure tenderness.
You can marinate the steak for up to 24 hours in the refrigerator for deeper flavor, but be careful not to over-marinate as the acidity can eventually make the meat mushy.
Use fresh-squeezed orange juice if possible for the brightest flavor, though bottled juice works in a pinch.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently to prevent drying out.
