Classic Chicken Fried Steak Fingers

Classic Chicken Fried Steak Fingers

Ingredients:

• 4 cube steaks, cut into strips

For the Marinade:

• 2 cups buttermilk

• 1 tablespoon hot sauce

• 1 tablespoon seasoned salt

For the Flour Mixture:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour

• 1 tablespoon seasoned salt

• 2 teaspoons onion powder

• 2 teaspoons garlic powder

• 1 teaspoon black pepper

For Frying:

• Vegetable oil

For the Gravy:

• ¼ cup vegetable oil drippings

• ¼ cup all-purpose flour

• 2 cups whole milk

• Salt & black pepper, to taste

Directions:

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, hot sauce, and seasoned salt. Add the steak strips, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.

Pour about 1 ½ inches of vegetable oil into a skillet and heat over medium heat.

In a shallow dish, mix the flour, seasoned salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and black pepper.

Remove the steak strips from the marinade, letting excess liquid drip off. Dredge each strip in the seasoned flour mixture, ensuring an even coating.

Once the oil is hot enough for frying, carefully place 3-4 strips in the skillet at a time. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.

To make the gravy, reserve ¼ cup of the oil drippings in the skillet over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden. Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring constantly until thickened. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Serve the crispy steak fingers warm with the homemade gravy for dipping.

Servings: 4-6
