Ingredients | Chinese Fried Chicken Fingers

1 cup all-purpose flour

3 ½ teaspoons seasoned salt

1 teaspoon ground black pepper

1 egg

¼ cup buttermilk

¼ cup dark beer

1 tablespoon hot pepper sauce (such as Frank's RedHot®)

2 pounds flat iron steaks

1 teaspoon seasoned salt

4 cups vegetable oil for frying

Directions

Whisk the flour, 3 1/2 teaspoons seasoned salt, and black pepper together in a mixing bowl; set aside. Beat the egg in a separate mixing bowl, then mix in the buttermilk, beer, and hot pepper sauce until smooth; set aside. Cut the steak into strips 1/2-inch wide by 3- to 4-inches long. Place into a mixing bowl, and toss with the remaining 1 teaspoon of seasoned salt.

Gently press the steak strips into the flour to coat and shake off the excess flour. Place the steak strips into the beaten egg, then toss in the flour again. Gently toss the strips between your hands so the excess flour can fall away. Place onto a baking sheet, and freeze until solid, about 4 hours.

Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Fry the frozen steak strips in small batches (5 to 7 at a time) until the breading is golden brown, and the beef has cooked to your desired degree of doneness, about 5 minutes for medium-well.

The nutrition data for this recipe includes the full amount of the breading ingredients. The actual amount of the breading consumed will vary. We have determined the nutritional value of oil for frying based on a retention value of 10% after cooking. The exact amount will vary depending on cooking time and temperature, ingredient density, and the specific type of oil used.

A salty barbeque rub may be used instead of the seasoned salt. Top round steak may be substituted for the flat iron steak. If you're using round steak, tenderize it with a meat mallet first.

Keep the steaks warm while frying the batches in a 175 degree F oven on a rack in a sheet pan.
