Steak with Parmesan Sauce

This is one of the best recipes I’ve ever made and it’s fast and easy. Hubby states that it is one of the best meals he’s ever had so I like to whip it out every now and then. My kids also love it so it’s time I shared it with you.

Steak w/ Parmesan Sauce
Adapted from Kraft foods

½ C (about) Italian dressing (I use Wild Harvest Organic, no HFCS or gluten, you can get it at Albertsons)
1 lb steak, trimmed and sliced into strips (this is easiest to do when it’s still slightly frozen)
2/3 C fat free sour cream
9 t grated parmesan cheese
½ t black pepper
1 onion, sliced and separated into rings

Marinade the steak for 30 min in about ¼ C of the Italian dressing, use at least enough to cover it. Mix the sour cream, 4 T of dressing, parmesan, and pepper. Set aside until the end.

Heat 2 T of dressing over medium heat in a skillet and add the onions. Cook for about 8 minutes or until they are golden brown, stirring frequently. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.

Add the steak to the skillet and cook on medium heat for 4 min on each side or until they are done. Put the sour cream mixture in the microwave for 1-1.5 min, stir well. Serve the steak topped with the sour cream sauce and onions.

The picture doesn't do it justice and that's partly becaue I forgot to make it pretty for the camera.

Gluten Free Steak Fingers

Last week my parents took the kids so we were feeling very free & easy, well lazy may be a better term. I asked hubby if he wanted me to make anything for dinner and he requested steak fingers. Since we can’t get greasy fried food outside of the house I do my best at home every now and then. I’ve made this recipe with different GF flours and haven’t been disappointed with any of them. Try your favorite flour mix and enjoy these tasty treats.

Steak Fingers (adapted from All Recipes)

1 egg
2 C buttermilk* (DF use your favorite DF milk w/ 2 T lemon juice, let it sit for about 30 min)
2 t onion powder
½ C GF flour (I’ve had success with Bob’s AP flour & Gluten Free Mama flour)
1 ½ pounds tenderized round steak cut into strips (I buy it already tenderized)

2 C GF flour
½ C Montina flour (you can substitute this with your GF flour)
2 t garlic powder
Salt & pepper to taste
Oil for frying

Beat together the egg, buttermilk, onion powder, and ½ C flour in a bowl. Add the steak and toss until coated. Cover and place in the refrigerator at least 2 hours, I prefer to let it sit over night.

Mix the GF flour, Montina flour, garlic powder, and salt & pepper. Remove the steak from the marinade allowing excess batter to drip off. Dip the steak into the seasoned flour coating well and set aside on wax paper. Heat the oil to 370F in a skillet. I put enough oil to cover the bottom of the skillet but not to cover the entire strip of steak. Place the steak fingers in the hot oil and fry for about 5 minutes then flip and fry the other side for another 3-5 minutes or until brown. Remove from the oil and allow them to drain on paper towels before serving.

We keep these simple and dip them in ketchup, they are delicious.

*If you don’t have buttermilk you can replace it with 2 C milk and 2 T lemon juice.
