Ingredients
1 ½lbBeef Cutlet
Sea Saltto taste
2-3Tbspcoconut oil or beef tallow
1Egglarge
1cupMilk
1 ½cupsFlour
4TbspScarborough 6 spiceEqual parts parsley, sage, rosemary, thyme, fennel, and oregano
Instructions
Cut the beef cutlet into strips and salt both sides generously. Set aside.
Mix the milk with the egg in a shallow dish.
In a second shallow dish, mix flour with Scarborough 6 Spice.
Dunk a few steak strips in the milk dish and let them sit for a minute. Afterwards, place the steak strips into the flour dish and coat each piece generously on all sides. Repeat with all the beef strips as you complete the next step.
Heat coconut oil in a cast-iron skillet on medium-high heat. You may need to adjust the heat throughout cooking to keep the steak fingers browning and not burning (see tips).
Cook the beef steak fingers on each side for 2 to 3 minutes or until the meat is cooked through and the breading is golden. Add oil as needed throughout frying. Serve hot and enjoy with a side of ketchup!
Notes
Instead of breading all the beef steak fingers at once, you can bread a few at a time as you cook them. This helps the flour to not get mushy and come off before frying, which helps you get a better breading.
If the breading is burning before the meat is cooked, lower your heat a bit. There's a sweet spot between browning and burning your steak fingers.
