Idaho-Style Finger Steaks

A delicious, crunchy beef dish that is deep-fried to perfection, marinated in buttermilk and spices.

Ingredients

  • egg (1 )
  • buttermilk (2 cups)
  • grill seasoning (2 tablespoons)
  • all-purpose flour (0.5 cup)
  • boneless beef sirloin steak (1.5 pounds)
  • all-purpose flour (2.5 cups)
  • garlic powder (2 teaspoons)
  • salt and pepper (0 )
  • canola oil (3 cups)

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Heat oil to 370 degrees F (185 degrees C) in a deep fryer or cast iron skillet.
  4. 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.
