STEAK FINGERS FOR RARE STEAK LOVERS



Steak Fingers for Rare Steak Lovers image

If you love rare or medium rare steak, this recipe is for you. My mother used to prepare this recipe for us kids (and she passed away recently at age 81--so it's a pretty old recipe). I believe these steak fingers were served at a Houston restaurant that she worked in during the 1960s. This dish goes well with hot rice. Be sure to cook your rice before you cook the steak fingers because this recipe is very fast! Note: The steak fingers are meant to turn out juicy, not "crispy."

Time 7m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 lb of good quality round steaks (calculate about 1/3 to 1/4 pound per person) or 1 lb sirloin steak (calculate about 1/3 to 1/4 pound per person)
1 cup flour (or more)
1/2 cup soy sauce (or more, Lite is good, I find regular soy sauce to be too salty)
fresh coarse ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Cut up Round Steak or Sirloin Steak into finger-sized pieces (about 1" or so in diameter, but no thinner or the meat will cook too fast), about 1/3 to 1/4 pound per person.
  • (To make slicing easier, place the meat in the freezer for about 30 minutes before slicing.).
  • Dip the Steak Fingers into the Soy Sauce, then dredge in the flour. (You can use a plastic bag for the flour-dipping part.).
  • Repeat Step 3, then place all the meat on a plate or platter. (At this point, if I want the pieces to turn out especially rare, I put them back into the freezer for a bit before cooking.).
  • When you get a plateful of breaded Steak Fingers prepared, quickly place them into a frying pan of heated vegetable oil one at a time. They should really sizzle as soon as you drop them into the oil. As soon as the entire plateful of meat is in the oil, begin turning the pieces. As soon as you have finished turning all the pieces, begin taking them out to drain on a paper towel covered plate. Sprinkle with cracked pepper and serve over hot rice with a salad.
  • NOTE: The entire frying process should only take a few minutes. DO NOT LEAVE THE STOVE OR THEY WILL OVERCOOK. The meat may turn out tough if it is cooked well done.
  • P.S. These steak fingers heat well the next day for lunch, just so long as they are not cooked well done to begin with.

IDAHO-STYLE FINGER STEAKS



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.

OLD-FASHIONED "STEAK" FINGERS (HUSBAND'S FAVORITE)



Old-Fashioned

I used to work at the Dairy Queen many years ago. This is the way we did our steak fingers for the Steak Finger baskets. They were made up ahead and kept in the freezer and cooked when ordered. These are delicious with Texas Toast, cream or brown gravy and mashed potatoes or french fries with ketchup.

Categories     Steaks and Chops

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 frozen 100% pure beef 80/20 patties or angus patties
2 c milk
dash(es) salt and pepper, to taste
2 1/3 c crisco, for deep frying

Steps:

  • 1. With sharp butcher knife or cleaver (carefully) cut each frozen patty into 4 pieces.
  • 2. Dip each steak finger into milk, sprinkle with salt and pepper and coat in flour. I use a gallon sized zip lock bag for flour. Dip each coated piece in milk again and then flour-for second coating.
  • 3. Deep fry in melted hot Crisco until done and browned on each side. Place on absorbent paper towels. Sprinkle lightly with salt, if desired. Note: Serve with gravy or ketchup.
