Crispy fried steak fingers recipe with very minimal ingredients.
Servings 4
Calories 640kcal
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds of cube steak patties
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup of flour
- 1 tablespoon of a salt seasoning blend
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 cup neutral frying oil such as: canola, avocado, grapeseed
Instructions
- Use scissors to cut each cube steak into strips. I usually get 3 strips from each steak.
- Place the steak strips on a plate, and sprinkle with half of the flour, half of the salt and half of the pepper. Toss to coat.
- Break the eggs into a shallow dish, and beat with the rest of the salt seasoning and pepper.
- Dip each steak finger into the egg, and then place back on the plate with the flour. Sprinkle the remaining flour on top, and toss lightly to coat.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet until shimmering hot (preferably a cast iron skillet). Add a pinch of flour to the oil, and if it lightly sizzles, it’s ready to fry.
- Carefully lower the steak fingers into the pan, and fry on the first side until golden brown and crispy, about 5 minutes. Flip, and lower the heat slightly and continue to fry on the other side. Repeat with all remaining steak fingers, but do try to cook in just 2 batches. Serve hot with white gravy or ranch for dipping.

Notes
Reheating leftovers: It's best to put the leftover on a wire rack over a sheet pan and heat at 250-degrees F until warm throughout.
When looking at the nutrition information for this recipe, it's important to note that the calculator assumes you're consuming the entire 1 cup of oil. This is incorrect, because almost all of the oil will still be in the pan after frying. This is also true for the batter ingredients: eggs, flour and salt.
