Idaho-Style Finger Steaks image

Yummy, highly seasoned steak nuggets, deep fried and served with Ranch dressing -- just like in the fast food joints in Idaho in the '70's! I missed these so much that I kept playing with the ingredients until I finally came up with this perfect re-creation of the real thing. A taste of the old times when we didn't know how bad deep frying was for us! Serve with ranch dressing, or your favorite bbq sauce, steak sauce, or blue cheese dressing!

Time 3h40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 egg
2 cups buttermilk
2 tablespoons grill seasoning, such as McCormick Montreal Steak Seasoning
½ cup all-purpose flour
1 ½ pounds boneless beef sirloin steak, cut into 2 1/2 x 1/4 inch strips
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons garlic powder
salt and pepper to taste
3 cups canola oil for deep frying

Steps:

  • Beat together the egg, buttermilk, grill seasoning, and 1/2 cup of flour in a large bowl until smooth. Add the beef, and toss until well coated. Cover with plastic wrap, and place into the refrigerator to marinate at least 2 hours.
  • Sift 2 1/2 cups flour with the garlic powder, salt, and pepper into a large bowl. Remove steak strips from buttermilk batter and allow excess to drip off. Dredge each piece with seasoned flour and place onto a baking sheet. Place in the freezer and freeze until firm, 1 hour to overnight.
  • Heat oil to 370 degrees F (185 degrees C) in a deep fryer or cast iron skillet.
  • Drop a few frozen steak pieces into the hot oil and fry until golden brown on the outside, about 5 minutes. Do not overcrowd the frying oil, and do not allow the steak strips to thaw before they are fried. Once golden brown, remove to drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

I'm not a big fan of steak, but these finger steaks were surprisingly good. The breading was crispy and flavorful, and the steak was tender and juicy.

I didn't have any bread crumbs, so I used crushed crackers instead. The finger steaks still turned out great!

These finger steaks were a bit bland. I would recommend adding more seasoning to the breading.

I didn't like these finger steaks. The breading was too thick and the steak was dry.
