Ingredients
- 1½ lbs thin-sliced steak top round, sirloin, or cube steak, sliced into strips
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1½ cups panko breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 4 –8 tablespoons butter for pan frying
- Lemon wedges for serving
- Fresh chopped parsley optional for garnish
Instructions
Prepare the steak:
- Slice 1½ lbs thin-sliced steak into finger-length strips (about ¾" wide). Season evenly with 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon black pepper.
Set up breading stations:
- Place 1 cup flour in a shallow bowl.
- Whisk 2 eggs with 1 tablespoon water in a second bowl.
- In a third bowl, mix 1½ cups panko breadcrumbs with 1 teaspoon garlic powder.
Bread the steak fingers:
- Working in batches, dredge each strip in the flour, dip in the egg mixture, then coat in the panko mixture. Press breadcrumbs on firmly to help them stick.
Pan-fry:
- Heat 2–3 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry steak fingers in batches (don’t overcrowd) for 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Add more butter as needed between batches.
Drain & serve:
- Transfer steak fingers to a paper towel–lined plate or wire rack. Serve hot with lemon wedges and sprinkle with chopped parsley if desired.
