Something Besides Turkey: Steak Fingers with Gravy
Something Besides Turkey: Steak Fingers with Gravy
Steak fingers are a delicious comfort food often found in diners or served at family gatherings. They’re essentially strips of steak that are breaded, seasoned, and deep-fried, similar to chicken fingers but with beef. Here's how you can make them at home:
Ingredients
- 1 pound of round steak or sirloin, cut into strips
- 1 cup of all-purpose flour
- 1 cup of buttermilk (or regular milk if preferred)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Cooking oil (vegetable or canola oil for frying)
Instructions
1. Prepare the Steak: Cut the steak into finger-sized strips, roughly 1 inch wide and about 3–4 inches long.
2. Season: In a bowl, season the flour with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
3. Dip the Steak: In another bowl, whisk the buttermilk and eggs together. Dip each steak strip into the buttermilk mixture, then dredge in the seasoned flour, coating well. For extra crispy steak fingers, repeat this step to double coat.
4. Fry: Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot (about 350°F), fry the steak fingers in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook each side for 2–3 minutes or until golden brown.
5. Drain and Serve: Place the cooked steak fingers on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
6. Serve: Serve hot with country gravy, ketchup, or your favorite dipping sauce.
Quick Gravy Recipe (Optional)
- 1/4 cup pan drippings (or butter if you prefer)
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
1. In the same pan, whisk the flour into the drippings until smooth and cook for 1–2 minutes.
2. Gradually add milk, whisking constantly until smooth.
3. Simmer until thickened, then season with salt and pepper.
Enjoy your homemade steak fingers!

Why You Should Use A Wine Rack
Why You Should Use A Wine Rack
For wine to mature in the proper way, you'll need to have the right humidity, temperature, light condition, and movement. Whenever you are storing wine for any amount of time, you'll need to ensure that the wine is in a safe place. Even though there are a few ways that you can store wine, none are safer or smarter than using a wine rack.
When you choose your wine rack, you should always remember to choose one that will store your wine properly. There are a several styles to choose from, including those that stack, wall mounts, and side mounts. You should also pay attention to size as well, as the sizes range from storing a few bottles to storing hundreds. You'll also have a lot of varieties and designs to select from, all of which depend on your needs and your space.
Among the best types of wine racks are the horizontal racks. Contrary to what many may think, vertical racks aren't a good choice for storing your wine. Wine that is stored on vertical racks are stored vertically, which means that the cork will dry out and eventually start to shrink, bringing air into the wine and ruining it. On the other hand, vertical racks can come in handy when storing wine for short periods of time, or wine that is best consumed young.
Tilted racks are another type of rack you should avoid using, as they can dry out the corks or deposit the sediments too close to the cork. For your wine storing needs, you should always go with a horizontal rack. Horizontal racks will keep the cork moist, and keep unwanted air from making contact with the wine. The sediment will fall towards the side of the bottle, preventing spillage when you pop the cork. Horizontal racks are also very affordable and you can always add more racks to the design with little to no problem.
The materials for wine racks are normally wood or metal. You can hang them from ceilings, mount them on the wall, or simply place them on the floor. Metal racks are the strongest, although wood is more flexible. Wooden racks provide a bit more storage, for the simple fact that you can always add to them. Wood racks are also visually appealing, durable, and provide plenty of strength.
All in all, a wine rack is a fine investment for anyone who appreciates wine. There are various sizes to choose from, all of which are very affordable. The small to medium sizes work best for homes, while the large styles are best for commercial settings. No matter where you keep your wine - you can count on a wine rack to keep your wine stored for years to come.
