I think most people can agree that comfort can be found in chicken fried anything.

Steak fingers are a favorite treat in our house when I have a little extra time for dinner. This recipe is definitely not on the 30 minute or less list, or the minimal dishes list for that matter. Have I convinced you to make it yet?! Seriously though, the time and dishes are worth it.

Hands down, this is the best use of tenderized steaks. This recipe is great for deer, elk, oryx, and axis. It doesn’t mask the game meat flavor, but it’s not so gamey that a person new to wild meat would turn up their nose.

There’s not a lot of prep work, just a good season, dredge, and fry. Pair it with some cream gravy, homemade mashed potatoes, and biscuits and get ready for raving reviews.

Ingredients

• 1 lb of tenderized round steak
• 2 eggs
• 3 Tbs Worcestershire
• 1/2 cup flour
• 1 Tbs garlic salt
• 3/4 cup bread crumbs

Directions

Lightly sprinkle both sides of the steak with 1 Tbs of Worcestershire sauce. Cut strips of tenderized round steaks (approximately 1” thick by 5” long). Typically, depending on the processor, you can turn the steaks where the longest side is horizontal and cut 1” strips the length of the steak and have good sized steak fingers.

Pick your favorite frying pan (or deep fryer) and pour in your canola oil so it’s about 1 1/2 inches deep. Turn the stove heat on medium.

Set up your dredge station with 3 different parts. I use Pampered Chef coating trays, but you could use plates, glass baking dishes, or any other shallow pan. Your first station is a base coating made by mixing the garlic salt and flour together. Station 2 is your binder made by mixing the remaining 2 Tbs of Worcestershire sauce and eggs. Last station is the breadcrumbs by themselves.

Check your oil temperature before you start to dredge to make sure it’s ready, it should be around 350°F. Make sure your oil is holding around that temperature and not getting over 400°F. Believe it or not, you can burn oil and it really affects the taste of whatever you’re frying.
