Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound beef sirloin or tenderloin steak
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1.5 cups panko breadcrumbs
- 2 cups vegetable oil
Instructions
Start by slicing the steak into thin strips, about 1 inch wide. Keep the strips uniform in size to ensure even cooking.
In a shallow dish, mix the flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder together.
In a second shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk until fully combined.
In a third shallow dish, add the panko breadcrumbs.
Dredge each steak strip in the flour mixture, making sure it’s fully coated. Shake off any excess flour.
Dip the coated steak strip into the egg mixture, then press it into the breadcrumbs, ensuring it's completely covered. Repeat for all steak strips.
Heat the vegetable oil in a heavy-bottomed skillet or deep fryer over medium-high heat (about 350°F). The oil is ready when a breadcrumb dropped in sizzles immediately.
Working in batches, fry the steak fingers for about 45-60 seconds per side, or until the outside is golden brown. Do not overcook to maintain a rare center.
Remove the fried steak fingers from the oil and place them on a wire rack or paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces, such as creamy horseradish, ranch, or a spicy aioli.
