Directions:

1. Heat the oil: Pour vegetable oil into a cast iron skillet and heat it over medium heat.
2. Prepare the coatings:
3. On one dinner plate, combine half of the flour with the seasonings.
4. Place the remaining flour on a separate plate.
5. In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk.
6. Coat the steak fingers:
7. Lightly coat both sides of the steak fingers with the plain flour.
8. Dip the steak fingers into the egg wash, ensuring they are evenly coated.
9. Finally, heavily coat the steak fingers in the flour and spice mixture.
10. Fry the steak fingers:
11. Pan-fry the steak fingers in the heated vegetable oil until they are golden brown on both sides. Be attentive—they cook quickly!
12. Transfer the fried steak fingers to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil, then keep them warm in a 170°F oven.
13. Prepare the dipping sauce:
14. In a small bowl, mix all the dipping sauce ingredients. Adjust the cayenne pepper for additional heat if desired.

Round steak can also be used. If you opt for this cut, fry it first and then transfer it to the oven at 275 degrees for 30 minutes to tenderize. 

Another option would be to make gravy from the pan drippings and some Yukon Gold mashed potatoes to go along with it!
