Dairy Queen Steak Fingers Recipes

STEAK FINGERS

Steps:

• Cut each steak into 3 strips, about 1 ¼" wide, and set aside until ready to use.
• Have a dredging station ready with three rimmed trays or pie dishes. In the first tray whisk together 1 cup flour, 1 teaspoon of salt and a ½ teaspoon of pepper. In the second try, combine milk and eggs. For the third tray, whisk together 1 cup flour, cracker crumbs, 1 ½ teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon black pepper.
• Add canola oil to a large frying pan, Dutch oven, or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and allow to come to temperature. The oil should be between 350°- 375°.Next to the skillet, have ready a rimmed baking sheet, lined with paper towels. Place a cooling rack atop the paper towels if you do not want the bottom of your steak fingers to get soggy.
• In the meantime, dredge each piece of steak in the flour mixture, then the egg wash, followed by the flour-cracker mixture. Make sure to coat both sides of the steak strips thoroughly and evenly across each station.
• Add the steak fingers to the oil in batches, taking care not to overcrowd the skillet. Cook for 3 ½ minutes, turn and cook for an additional 3 minutes on the other side.
• Sprinkle the strips with Kosher salt while they are still hot for an extra punch of flavor (if desired). Serve alongside mashed potatoes and Homemade Country Gravy and enjoy.

STEAK FINGERS - COWBOY KENT ROLLINS

Steps:

• Cut the steak into about 1-inch strips and set aside.
• In a medium bowl, combine the flour, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, baking powder and Original seasoning.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk and remaining 1 tablespoon of cornstarch.
• In a deep fryer or Dutch oven add about 3 inches of the oil and preheat to 350 degrees F.
• Dredge the meat strips in the flour mixture and then dip in the buttermilk mixture to generously coat. Repeat back in the flour mixture, wet mixture and finish in the dry mixture. Set on a wire rack for at least 3 minutes to let the batter and flour dry which will help it stick to the meat.
• Fry the strips about 3 to 4 minutes or until golden brown. Place them on a wire rack. Serve warm.

Steps:

• 1. With sharp butcher knife or cleaver (carefully) cut each frozen patty into 4 pieces.

• 3. Deep fry in melted hot Crisco until done and browned on each side. Place on absorbent paper towels. Sprinkle lightly with salt, if desired. Note: Serve with gravy or ketchup.
