Idaho Finger Steaks With Spicy Cajun Dipping Sauce

"Have you ever heard of Idaho Finger Steaks? Sometimes called Idaho’s best kept secret, finger steaks are a delicious finger food…perfect for appetizers or a comfort food meal! Idahoans use a wide variety of beef cuts to make finger steaks, but the most common cuts are either top sirloin or cube steak. I used cube steak to make this version, and it worked beautifully! Cube steak, also known as cubed steak, is a cut of beef that is tenderized with a meat tenderizer. The name comes from the shape of the indentions left in the meat after the tenderizing process. There’s no right or wrong way to make Idaho Finger Steaks. You can play around with the breading mixture – although I have to say that the saltines used in this version worked very well! I served these finger steaks with a Spicy Cajun Dipping Sauce. This sauce is a riff on fry sauce in that it uses both mayonnaise and ketchup, although the proportions are a bit different. Oh, and there’s a little splash of dill pickle juice in there, too. Don’t skip on the pickle juice – just trust me!"
