Add salt, poblano and tomatillos and cook for about 5 minutes, or just until the peppers begin to soften. Transfer to a blender and puree until smooth. Return to the pan and simmer over low heat for 10 minutes. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Keep warm.
• Cheese Sauce: Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk well. Cook over low heat for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Whisk in the milk and bring to boil.

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 AND GRAVY

Steps:

• For the steak fingers: Combine the flour, seasoned salt, pepper and cayenne in a dish. Whisk together the milk and eggs in a separate dish.
• To bread the meat, first dredge in the flour mixture, then dip quickly in the egg mixture and then put back into the flour mixture to coat on both sides. Continue until all the meat is breaded.
• Heat the butter and vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Fry the steak strips 4 or 5 at a time, turning midway through. When golden brown, remove from the skillet to a paper towel-lined plate. Continue with the remaining meat. Cover loosely with foil to keep warm.
• For the gravy: Pour off all the grease from the skillet, and then add 1/4 cup of the grease back in. Sprinkle on the flour. Whisk the mixture till it becomes a paste (add more flour if you need to) and cook the paste over medium-low heat until it's deep golden brown. Pour in about 3 cups of the milk, whisking constantly. Allow the gravy to cook and thicken, whisking regularly and adding more milk if it seems too thick right off the bat. Season the gravy with salt and pepper and pour into small dishes.
• Serve the steak fingers with the gravy. Yum!

CHICKEN FRIED STEAK FINGERS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and marinade seasonings.
• Add the steak strips. Use tongs to move the steak around and get each piece coated with the buttermilk mixture. Cover the bowl and set aside for 30 minutes. If you plan to marinate for longer than 30 minutes, place the bowl into the fridge.
• Next, prepare the batter mixture by adding the flour, cornstarch, and seasonings to a large bowl. Whisk to combine.
• Add the oil to a deep Dutch oven or deep cast iron skillet. You will need at least 3 inches of oil in the pot. Pre-heat the oil to 350 degrees F.
• While the oil heats up, working with one piece of steak at a time, remove it from the buttermilk mixture. Gently shake off the excess liquid. Coat the steak well in the flour mixture and set it onto a prepared baking sheet which has been lined with a cooling rack. Do this will all of the steak, working with one piece at a time.
• Once all of the steak has been coated, again, working with one piece at a time, dip it once more into the buttermilk mixture until fully submerged. Remove and gently shake off the excess liquid. Coat once again in the flour mixture and place it back onto the cooling rack. It's important to double dredge to get the best crispy batter. This also locks the moisture into the steak.
• Now that all of the steak has been dipped and coated twice, it's time to fry. First, preheat your oven to 200 degrees F.
• Fry the steak in batches - about 4 or 5 pieces at a time. It will take about 4-7 minutes for the steak to be fully cooked through. Once fully cooked and browned, remove from the oil and place on a clean baking sheet/cooling rack. Set in oven. Do not cover!
• Continue with frying the next batch until all of the steak is done.
• Plate and serve with your favourite sides. Enjoy!
