Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound beef sirloin steak
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 cups vegetable oil
Instructions
Cut the beef sirloin steak into thin strips, about 1/2 inch wide and 3-4 inches long. Pat them dry with paper towels and set aside.
In a shallow dish, mix together the flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and buttermilk together until combined.
Place the panko breadcrumbs in a third shallow dish.
Set up a breading station: dredge each steak strip in the flour mixture, dip into the egg mixture, and then coat with the panko breadcrumbs. Press gently to ensure the breadcrumbs stick.
Place the breaded steak fingers on a baking sheet or plate and let them rest for 5-10 minutes to help the coating adhere.
In a large skillet or deep pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to maintain the temperature for even frying.
Carefully place the steak fingers into the hot oil in small batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the steak fingers with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Repeat with the remaining steak fingers, ensuring the oil returns to the correct temperature between batches.
Serve the Golden Steak Fingers hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch, honey mustard, or barbecue sauce.
