Golden Steak Fingers

By Addie

“If you use a lot of egg whites and discard the yolks, look for powdered egg whites in the baking section of the supermarket. You will eliminate waste and always have egg whites on hand.”

Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 teaspoons dried basil
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 2 eggs
• 12 ounces round steak, trimmed, thinly sliced
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 1 cup prepared marinara or other meatless red spaghetti sauce

Preparation

Step 1

Combine flour, Parmesan, basil, salt and pepper in a small bowl; mix well.


Lightly beat eggs in a medium bowl. Dip steak into eggs, allowing excess to drain back into bowl. Coat steak with flour mixture, patting gently so coating adheres.


Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry steak fingers in batches, turning pieces once, until coating is golden, about 5 minutes.


Meanwhile, heat marinara sauce in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Place steak fingers on a serving platter. Serve with sauce for dipping.


NOTE:

To make slicing the steak easier, chill it in the freezer for 30 minutes. Cut across the grain to yield the most tender meat.
