Idaho Finger Steaks image

This recipe was given to me many years ago and is alleged to be the original recipe from a cafe in Boise, Idaho: the purported home of the finger steak. I ate there many times in the 70's and this recipe seems authentic. I always omit the salt as it seems way too salty for me and everyone to whom I passed it along agrees with me, but I included it as that's the way it was given to me. Try dipping in cocktail or fry sauce.

Time 1h50m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 ½ cups milk
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried marjoram
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons seasoned salt
¾ tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 ½ cups flour
4 cups oil for deep frying
3 pounds beef tenderloin, cut into 2 1/2x3/4-inch strips

Steps:

  • Mix together the milk, thyme, marjoram, salt, seasoned salt, and Worcestershire sauce in a bowl. Stir in the flour gradually until the mixture reaches a thick, batter-like consistency. Refrigerate 1 to 2 hours.
  • Preheat the oil in a large pot to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Completely coat each piece of beef in the batter and gently place into the hot oil. Lie them into the oil individually to keep them from sticking together. Cook in small batches of 4 to 8 pieces until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Allow the oil to return to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) between batches.

I've made these finger steaks several times now, and they're always a hit with my family. They're so easy to make and they always turn out perfectly. The meat is always tender and juicy, and the breading is always crispy and flavorful.

These finger steaks were a bit of a disappointment. The meat was tough and the breading was bland. I think I'll stick to my usual fried chicken recipe.

I've made these finger steaks several times now, and they're always a crowd-pleaser. The key is to use good quality meat and to not overcook it. I also like to add a little bit of garlic powder and onion powder to the breading for extra flavor.
