Ingredients

  • 1 ½ lb Beef Cutlet
  • Sea Salt to taste
  • 2-3 Tbsp coconut oil or beef tallow
  • 1 Egg large
  • 1 cup Milk
  • 1 ½ cups Flour
  • 4 Tbsp Scarborough 6 spice Equal 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.
