Ingredients
 

Cube Steak Fingers

  • 1 ½-2 lb cube steak cut into 1-inch strips
  • 1 cup oil for frying
  • 1 ½-2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoon paprika
  • 1 ½ teaspoon Tony Chachere’s seasoning or other cajun seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 ½ cups buttermilk or milk

Gravy

  • 3 tablespoon butter or oil from from frying
  • 3 tablespoon reserved flour mixture
  • 2-3 cups milk
  • Salt/Black Pepper to taste

Instructions

Cube Steak Fingers

  • Heat oil in a large skillet on medium-high.
  • Set up a dredging station with 2 bowls: Bowl 1: whisk together flour and seasonings; Bowl 2: whisk together eggs and buttermilk or milk. Set aside 3 tablespoons of the flour mixture for the gravy.
  • Working with 1-2 steak fingers at a time on both sides, dip in the seasoned flour, the egg mixture, then put back into the flour.
  • Once the oil is hot, fry the fingers 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown and an internal temperature of 145°F is reached. Cook in batches if necessary.
  • Transfer to a cooling rack and hold in a warming oven while making the gravy.

Gravy

  • In a medium skillet on medium-high, melt butter or use reserved grease from the cube steak fingers. Whisk in the reserved seasoned flour into the grease and cook 2-3 minutes. Add 1 cup of the milk to the mixture and whisk quickly. This initial mixture will thicken and cook quickly. Once well combined, add an additional cup of milk, and stir until well combined. Allow mixture to come to a light simmer then turn heat to low-medium. As the mixture thickens, add milk to desired consistency and salt and pepper to taste. Simmer 3-5 minutes.
