STEAK FINGERS FOR RARE STEAK LOVERS

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

Steps:

• For the finger steaks: Trim the excess fat and silver skin from the steak and cut into strips about 1/2 inch wide and 2 to 3 inches long.
• Whisk together the buttermilk, Worcestershire, 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon each pepper, granulated garlic, dry mustard and paprika in a large bowl. Add the steak strips to the buttermilk mixture, toss to coat, then cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.
• For the fry sauce: Meanwhile, whisk together the mayonnaise, ketchup, Worcestershire, vinegar, paprika, a good pinch of salt and several grinds of pepper in a medium bowl until smooth and combined. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve, up to 2 days.
• Fill a large Dutch oven with about 3 inches of oil. Attach a deep-fry thermometer and heat to 350 degrees F.
• Whisk together the flour, 2 teaspoons salt and the remaining 1 teaspoon each pepper, granulated garlic, dry mustard and paprika in a shallow dish. Line a plate with paper towels.
• Remove the meat from the marinade to a plate using a slotted spoon. Reserve the buttermilk mixture in the bowl. In batches, dredge the steak strips in the seasoned flour, then into the buttermilk mixture, and back again into the seasoned flour until well coated.
• Place a few battered steak strips in the hot oil. Fry, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and crispy, about 4 minutes. Remove with a clean slotted spoon onto the prepared plate. Repeat with the remaining steak strips.
• Serve the steak fingers with fry sauce, cocktail sauce and French fries if desired.
