Steak Fingers

(Similar to Smothered Beef In Gravy and Chicken Fried Steak)

• 1 piece sirloin steak or NY Strip Steak ¾” to 1” thick, slice in thin strips across the grain, about ¼ in. thick.
• Flour
• 1 egg
• ½ cup milk
• 1 tsp. salt
• ¼ tsp. black pepper
• 1/4 tsp. Perfect Pinch Garlic & Herb Seasoning or Hidden Valley Ranch Seasoning mix (optional)
• Oil for frying

Put about ½ cup flour in a plastic bag.  Drop in the meat pieces and shake making sure everything is coated. Shake off excess and drop the dredged meat in a bowl of beaten egg mixed with the milk.

Add another ½ cup flour (or more) in the same bag and add the salt, pepper and the garlic seasoning or the Ranch seasoning mix.  Shake to mix.

Heat ¼ inch oil in a skillet.

Place the meat pieces one at a time in the bag of seasoned flour and shake to coat.  Do this in batches to make sure the meat pieces are well coated.  Transfer separately in a cookie sheet until all are floured.

Fry in the oil one side at a time until well browned.  Do not over crowd the meat.  Drain on paper towel. 

Make milk gravy with the dripping if desired and serve separately for dipping.  A-1 Sauce or BBQ sauce is also good for dipping.  Another excellent choice for dipping is Ranch salad dressing. For more intense seasoned meat, sprinkle salt and pepper and a pinch of garlic seasoning on the meat and mix well. Let stand about 30 minutes before proceeding with the recipe.
