re: Brisket Strips - what to do?

Next time, make chili. Brisket, braised, is delicious. It loves a wet cook. So make your fave chili and put the strips into it; simmer, partially covered, until the brisket is tender. You can cut it into smaller chunks beforehand, or you can roughly chop it after it is cooked. Add beans once the meat is tender, if so inclined.

Would also be excellent in a beef/veg stew. Reserve some uncooked veg to add to the pot after meat is tender, or you will end up with veg mush and meat.
