Stutter-Step Type: Combat Requires: Celerity [cel] Strike: dodge. [CEL] Strike: make a hand strike and dodge. This is both a hand strike and a dodge. Not usable if only hand strikes (or only dodges) are allowed. Only usable at close range. Not usable as an additional strike, and this vampire cannot use any additional strikes this round. Can Undead Strength be used as the "hand strike"? Thanks.

[ quoted text not captured ] No. Stutter-Step is the strike card. See also the inability to play Lucky Blow and then use Undead Strength as the "hand strike" of the Lucky Blow strike.

Since SS defines this effect with a "Strike:" preceding it, it is your (only)selected strike for the current strike resolution. Compare to Undead Strength's own text, which explicitly allows it to be "stacked" with a melee weapon. SInce SS lacks such text, you cannot "stack" effects in the manner you describe above.
