Steak Fingers Recipe
Imagine crispy strips of chicken-fried steak, served with creamy white gravy for dipping—this dish is irresistible! Steak fingers are essentially strips of tenderized cube steak, coated in a seasoned flour mix and fried until golden brown. The best part? You make both the steak and the gravy in the same skillet for easy cleanup!

- Gravy Perfection: Gradually whisk in milk to control the thickness of the gravy; adjust seasoning to taste for a flavorful finish.
