Ingredients
- 1 pound of steak (sirloin or ribeye are best)
- 1 cup of all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon of onion powder
- 1 teaspoon of paprika
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1 teaspoon of ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup of milk
- 1/2 cup of vegetable oil
Instructions
1. Begin by preparing the steak. Slice the steak into thin strips. The thinner the strips, the crispier the steak fingers will be.
2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix the ingredients together until they are well combined.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and vegetable oil. This will be the batter for the steak fingers.
4. Dip each strip of steak into the batter, making sure that it is coated on all sides. Allow any excess batter to drip off before placing the steak in the bowl with the flour mixture.
5. Toss the steak in the flour mixture until it is completely covered. Place the steak on a plate and let it sit for a few minutes so the coating can set.
6. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add enough vegetable oil to cover the bottom of the pan. Once the oil is hot, add the steak strips and cook for 4-5 minutes, flipping once, until they are golden brown and cooked to your desired doneness.
7. Remove the steak fingers from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate. Let them sit for a few minutes before serving.
