For the steak fingers
- 2 pound cube steak cut into 1" strips
- 1 ½ cups all purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons cajun seasoning
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ¾ cups milk
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

Instructions
For the steak fingers
- Heat 2" of oil to 350 F in a deep fryer or Dutch oven.
- In a shallow bowl (or pie plate), mix together the flour, Cajun seasoning and baking powder.
- In another shallow bowl (or pie plate), whisk together the milk, eggs, and Worcestershire sauce.
- Working in batches, dip the steak strips in the flour mixture. Make sure to coat them well, then shake off any excess.
- Next, roll the strips in the milk mixture. Shake off any excess.
- Return the strips to the flour and again coat well.
- Add strips to the hot oil and fry 1-2 minutes per side, turning once, until golden brown. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate or wire rack while cooking the remaining strips.
- Serve the steak fingers with the white gravy for dipping.
For the white gravy
- Place all ingredients in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
- Whisk while heating, bringing to a slow boil.
- Reduce heat to a simmer and let simmer until the desired thickness is achieved.
Notes
I like my gravy peppery so I always add a pinch or two of pepper and stir it in before serving.
