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

Directions

Step 1

Start by slicing the steak into thin strips, about 1 inch wide. Keep the strips uniform in size to ensure even cooking.

Step 2

In a shallow dish, mix the flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder together.

Step 3

In a second shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk until fully combined.

Step 4

In a third shallow dish, add the panko breadcrumbs.

Step 5

Dredge each steak strip in the flour mixture, making sure it’s fully coated. Shake off any excess flour.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Remove the fried steak fingers from the oil and place them on a wire rack or paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 10

Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces, such as creamy horseradish, ranch, or a spicy aioli.
