Directions: Crispy Fried Chicken Steak Fingers Recipe

How to Make Crispy Steak Fingers

  • STEP 1.Slice the cube steak into strips (about 1-inch wide). Pat them dry—this helps the coating stick better.
  • STEP 1.Whisk eggs and buttermilk in one bowl. In another, mix flour and spices. Dip each strip in the wet mix, then coat generously with flour.
  • STEP 2.Heat oil in a skillet (about ½ inch deep). Fry the strips for 3-4 minutes per side until crispy and golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
  • STEP 3.Melt butter in a pan, whisk in flour until smooth. Slowly pour in milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Season with salt and lots of black pepper—trust me, it makes all the difference. Simmer until thick and creamy (about 5 minutes). Drizzle it over your steak fingers, and dig in!

Frequently asked questions

Can I bake instead of fry for a healthier version?

Absolutely! Bake at 400°F for 15-20 mins, flipping halfway. They won’t be as crispy, but still tasty.

What’s the best way to store leftovers?

Keep steak fingers and gravy separate. Reheat in the oven to maintain crispiness.

Can I use a different cut of meat?

Cube steak works best, but you can tenderize round steak with a meat mallet in a pinch.
