STEAK FINGERS:
This is great when making steak fingers. Cut finger size strips of steak, then marinate, flour, and fry. Each piece is breaded all over, and seems to stay on, and cooks fast. After browning, you can place meat in oven to finish cooking when making large batches. Hope this works for ya'll!
