Strips of meat, good French cuts (7)
I believe the answer is:
ribbons
'strips' is the definition.
(ribbon is a kind of strip)
'of meat good french cuts' is the wordplay.
'of meat' becomes 'ribs' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'good french' becomes 'bon' ('good' in French).
'cuts' means one lot of letters goes inside another (a group of letters 'cuts' into another word).
'ribs' going around 'bon' is 'RIBBONS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ribbons that I've seen before include "Narrow strips of material, for hair say" , "Narrow strips of fine material" , "Long strips, for the hair perhaps" , "Long narrow strips of material" .)
