Information about Beef Steak Strips.

We all love sizzling Beef Steak Strips served on a hotplate, rich sauced Stroganoff dishes, or a tasty Stir-fry. These are just a few dishes that are perfect to create with your Beef Steak Strips at home. The Steak Strips are around the size of a finger, all the external fat removed, giving you just the natural lean meat. We have packed the Steak Strips in 500g pouches that’ll feed 2-3 people.

What cut of meat are Beef Steak Strips made from?

Beef Steak Strips are cut from the Grass Fed Tri Tip Steak at the end of the whole primal cut Rump Steak.

The Tri Tip is also known as the “Rump Tail” or “Bottom Sirloin” in America. This steak is widely cooked as a “Low & Slow” piece on the Barbecue, with the fat cap on. The texture of this steak is little coarser than Fillet or Sirloin Steak (more commonly used for Steak Strips), it has a richer flavour & more fat marbling through it. The intramuscular fat combined with the texture gives these Steak Strips awesome flavour when melting in your mouth. 

To try & offer cheaper pricing for Steak Strips, supermarkets & Butchers will use cheaper cuts trimmed up. The difference in the flavour & the texture is poorer not giving you the desired results in your recipes. Using cheaper cuts is false economy when making softer meat cuts like Steak Strips. 

How are Beef Steak Strips cut?

Firstly the Tri Tip Steaks are completely trimmed of all external fat, leaving a single whole piece of marbled beef muscle. The process of complete fat removal is “PAD” Prepared and Degristled. The fat marbling adds to the flavour & helps to keep the beef Strips moist during cooking. This is the same cut of meat we use to create our tender “Diced Beef” from.

We cut the Steak Strips to pieces about the length & thickness of a finger, they are thick enough to hold a good flavour & thin enough to be easily cooked hot & fast. The whole Tri Tip steaks are cut using a clean specialised beef slicing & dicing machine, to produce more uniform pieces. The strips are cut across the grain because this helps break down the meat fibres when cooking, the meat breaks apart easier when eating.

How do we pack Beef Steak Strips?

We pack the Beef Steak Strips in 500g portions, suitable for making smaller shared meals & to help reduce food waste in the home. The 500g packs are perfect for your weekly online shopping as a regular freezer filler, stocking up for those mid week family meals.

The Beef Steak Strips are packed into Clear Recyclable Pouches immediately after cutting. The packs are boxed & palletised then placed straight into the “Blast Freezer” & frozen down to -18°c over a few hours. This ensures your meat stays fresh frozen for up to 2 years with the same flavour & texture from the day it was packed.

All our production facilities are BRCGS / IFS approved  that make any of our meat cuts or products. All refrigerated air is filtered in production rooms, the butchers & packing staff wear fully protective clothing, these precautions reduce natural bacteria. Operated with the highest hygiene & temperature controls to ensure you enjoy the same taste & texture from all our Beef packs.

The Recyclable packaging we use is now stronger & thinner to reduce the amount of plastic we use annually in production. Using less plastic saves energy & reduces the amount of plastic per portion of meat, with our continued goal for a “Greener Future”. The packaging protects the meat from any cross contamination of other foodstuffs when stored chilled. The strong plastic keeps the meat safe when being delivered to your door, the plastic prevents any freezer burn when stored at -18°c.

Are Beef Steak Strips good value for money?

Our Beef Steak Strips are very lean & have no waste, with less shrinkage when cooking giving you “More Meat for Your Money”.

You can use one pack to feed 3 people a generous portion of lean meat, or using as multiple packs to create delicious bulk cooking meals. Bulk cooking reduces your energy costs, the 500g packs are sized to make it easier to work out portions & amounts needed to make your recipes.

We can make Beef Steak Strips from the best cuts of steak because we make it as a wholesale product & pack as retail packs for the online website.

Provenance of our Beef.

We source all our Irish Grass Fed Beef from farms local to production in Ireland. The slaughterhouses / production plants are constantly supplied with a sustainable supply of top quality cattle. Local farmers have long term relationships with production to ensure continuity of supply all year round.

Our Irish Grass-Fed beef enjoys some of the best green pastures that Ireland has to offer, with the higher than average rainfall there is never a shortage of lush grass for them to enjoy. The welfare of all the cattle is very important not only to the livestock but to the results it brings to the table.

The select choice of breeds we use for our cuts; Charolais, Limousin, Angus, & Hereford, having good confirmation & delivering good yields. Most beef farmers & producers raise their cattle under “Bord Bia” guidelines. All our beef is fully traceable from farm to fork, with all cattle having digital passports, showing farmers details, breed, welfare etc.

The flavour & texture of our Irish Beef is recognised across the globe & found in many high end restaurants internationally.

The process from farm to finished product is always very humane & efficient.

How do you cook Beef Steak Strips?

The Steak Strips are specifically created to use as a hot & fast type of cooking in simple seasoning or something cooked in rich sauces at a lower temperature for longer.

The meat will have a great bite to it when cooked hot & fast in a skillet or wok for a stir fry. When you cook these on a lower temperature in a slow cooker for longer, the meat will simply melt in your mouth with amazing flavour. The fibres of the meat are a little coarser than fillet steak & well suited for sizzling beef recipes, Stroganoff dishes, stir fry meals because of the richer flavour.

The Steak Strips are an ideal size for cooking; not too small to dry out, not too big to need further cutting, just open the pack, season & you’re ready to cook.

See below for simple helpful tips on cooking with Steak Strips:

• Remove the Beef from the fridge an hour before cooking (leave in pouch).
• Take the beef out of the pack & dry with paper towel.
• Season the meat 30 mins before adding to cooking dish.
• After cooking, let the meat rest in the dish for an hour before serving.
