What it is
Steak strips are pieces of beef, typically from the loin or rib, that have been cut into thin strips. They are often marinated or seasoned before being cooked, usually by grilling, pan-frying, or broiling.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use steak strips as a protein source in a variety of dishes. They are commonly found in meal kits, frozen entrees, salads, stir-fries, and pasta dishes, adding a savory meat component.
Health notes
Steak strips are a source of protein, iron, and B vitamins. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) considers beef to be generally recognized as safe (GRAS) when used as food. Regulatory bodies like the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have evaluated beef and its components. Typical consumption of beef as part of a balanced diet is not associated with adverse health effects. However, high intake of red meat has been linked in some studies to increased risk of certain chronic diseases, while other research has not found a significant association.
Allergen info
Steak strips are not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. They do not contain gluten.
