Best 4 Air Fryer Cube Steak Fingers Recipes

SPICY AIR FRYER STEAK FINGERS WITH DILL PICKLE DIP

Steps:

• Cut the cube steak into thin strips (My steaks were small so I cut each in half to make 6 fingers)
• In a small dish, combine the cayenne pepper, brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
• In a shallow dish, combine half of the spice mixture with 1 cup of almond flour. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of almond flour to a second dish, and beat the eggs in a third.
• Pat the steak strips dry and season with salt and pepper. Dip each piece into the plain almond flour, then into the egg, then into the seasoned almond flour. Repeat with all of the steak.
• Arrange the breaded steak fingers in a single layer in the basket of your air fryer (cook in batches if necessary). Spritz the top of the steak with olive oil spray, then fry at 400°F for 8 minutes.
• While the steak is cooking, combine the remaining spice mixture with the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of water. Brush the hot sauce onto the cooked steak.
• To make the dill pickle dip: In a small dish combine the sour cream, milk dill pickles, and pickle juice. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

AIR FRYER CUBE STEAK

Steps:

• Preheat air fryer to 400F for 5 minutes.
• Place cube steaks in a shallow baking dish or pan.
• Mix together the olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic. Stir to combine.
• Pour the marinade over the cube steak. Let marinate for at least an hour in the refrigerator.
• Remove the cube steaks from the marinade, being sure to let excess sauce drip off the steaks. Place the cube steaks in the air fryer in a single layer, working in batches if needed.
• Air fry at 400F for 6-7 minutes, or until the cube steaks have reached an internal temperature of 145F. Be sure not to overcook as the steak will get tough.
• Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing so the juices don't run out of the steaks.

STEAK FINGERS AND GRAVY

Steps:

• For the steak fingers: Combine the flour, seasoned salt, pepper and cayenne in a dish. Whisk together the milk and eggs in a separate dish.
• To bread the meat, first dredge in the flour mixture, then dip quickly in the egg mixture and then put back into the flour mixture to coat on both sides. Continue until all the meat is breaded.
• Heat the butter and vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Fry the steak strips 4 or 5 at a time, turning midway through. When golden brown, remove from the skillet to a paper towel-lined plate. Continue with the remaining meat. Cover loosely with foil to keep warm.
• For the gravy: Pour off all the grease from the skillet, and then add 1/4 cup of the grease back in. Sprinkle on the flour. Whisk the mixture till it becomes a paste (add more flour if you need to) and cook the paste over medium-low heat until it's deep golden brown. Pour in about 3 cups of the milk, whisking constantly. Allow the gravy to cook and thicken, whisking regularly and adding more milk if it seems too thick right off the bat. Season the gravy with salt and pepper and pour into small dishes.
• Serve the steak fingers with the gravy. Yum!

STEAK FINGERS

Steps:

• Tenderize steak by pounding with a mallet. Cut into 3 inch long strips.
• Combine egg, milk, salt and pepper in a shallow dish, whisk until well blended.
• In a large skillet over medium heat, heat 1/3 cup oil (or just enough to cover the bottom of the pan).
• Coat steak pieces in flour. Shake off excess. Then dip in the egg mixture and again in flour.
• Fry the strips in the hot oil until golden brown; about 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb oil.
