What's Beef stir-fry strips
Stir-fry strips can be made from a number of tender muscles. Stir-fry strips are usually cut about 1cm thick so they cook quickly and as they are cut across the grain they are really tender.

What Else Could I Use?
If you can't get hold of ready cut beef strips you can always make your own at home. Just take a steak of your choice and slice across the grain (at 90º angle to the long meat fibres) about 1cm apart. You could also make them from a lean piece of topside.
