I really don't think those are the kinds..when I say chewy
it's not because it's tough like a flank steak..it's chewy
because it's fatty ,rubbery.. but no fat on it. you know
like the beef and broccoli beef. any chinese cooks out there
that would know this? thanks.. BG

It can be most anything: top sirloin, bottom round, flap,
and flank are common. It's how it's prepared and marinated
first. Baking soda is essential.

Thinly sliced ribeye.

Not really. funny but not helpful. BG

<lol> Sorry, could not resist...

Honestly, I think they are most likely to use whatever is on
sale. The cooking technique is what is most important!

Hot and fast. Experiment with different inexpensive cuts
of meat until you get the desired results. I'd start
with shoulder.

It is probably round steak. That is what my old Chinese
recipes used to call for in dishes like that. It can be a
little chewy without some extra help, but sliced thin across
the grain it works well in stir fry dishes. Freeze the meat
and cut it while it is partially frozen. That will make it a
lot easier to get nice thin strips.

Yes I've narrowed it down. I went to a Chinese restaurant
last weekend and asked the cook after the meal. He said it
was Flank steak that was beaten and marinated ALOT.He
claimed I couldn't make it at home. Is round the same as
Flank. If not which is higher qualit?. BG

Was the cook wearing a hat in the restaurant, by chance?

Couldn't make it at home? That's ridiculous.

Round and flank are completely different and each have their
own uses. Flank is generally more expensive for various
reasons, not necessarily because it's 'better' than round.
Flank is tough when cooked and requires careful prep. Round,
too, but it's cheaper and almost as flavorful.
