Morphology

strip + steak

The meaning is directly derivable from combining 'strip' (a long narrow piece) with 'steak' (a slice of meat): a strip steak is simply a long, narrow cut of beef. This noun–noun compounding follows a regular, cross-linguistically common pattern for naming cuts by shape, so a B1 learner who knows both words would likely understand it.

Etymology

Strip steak comes from the name for the long, narrow strip of meat cut from the back of the cow, and that long piece was served as a tasty steak, so the name stuck.
