Beef strips are a very versatile cut of beef. Fajita Friday? Gotcha covered. In the mood for Asian cuisine? You got it!
The strip meat can be cut from the sirloin, but if you want the very leanest cut of beef, you can cut the strips from a Flank steak or the Skirt steak.
Be sure to use a meat tenderizer, or a meat mallet before cooking. Because these cuts have very little fat content, they can be a bit tough or chewy, if they haven’t been prepared before cooking.
