Idaho-Style Finger Steaks

                 

•  1 egg
•  2 cups buttermilk
•  2 tablespoons grill seasoning, such as McCormick Montreal Steak Seasoning
•  1/2 cup all-purpose flour
•                               1 1/2 pounds boneless beef sirloin steak, cut into 2 1/2 x 1/4-inch strips                         
  2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
•  2 teaspoons garlic powder
•  salt and pepper to taste
•                     3 cups canola oil for deep frying                   

         Directions            

1. Beat together the egg, buttermilk, grill seasoning, and 1/2 cup of flour in a large bowl until smooth. Add the beef, and toss until well coated. Cover with plastic wrap, and place into the refrigerator to marinate at least 2 hours.
2. Sift 2 1/2 cups flour with the garlic powder, salt, and pepper into a large bowl. Remove steak strips from buttermilk batter and allow excess to drip off. Dredge each piece with seasoned flour and place onto a baking sheet. Place in the freezer and freeze until firm, 1 hour to overnight.
3. Heat oil to 370 degrees F (185 degrees C) in a deep fryer or cast iron skillet.
4. Drop a few frozen steak pieces into the hot oil and fry until golden brown on the outside, about 5 minutes. Do not overcrowd the frying oil, and do not allow the steak strips to thaw before they are fried. Once golden brown, remove to drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
