I hope it doesn't have to be a healthy one. This is my kids favorite and it does take a while to fix. It also takes quit a bit of oil.

Fingersteaks

I deep fry them at 350 until done. Make sure to turn them over.

2 cups flour
1 tablespoon garlic salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 eggs
1 can of beer or you can use 1 cup of milk (I found beer taste better)

Mix the above in a bowl until smooth.

Cut your steak into cubes and pour into the mix. Then dip into your grease and cook until done, make sure you turn them over while they are cooking.

My kids just love these they are always after me to make them, but like I said they can take a while to make but they are so good.Now I know what I am having for dinner.

Thanks for the recipe Sumo and thanks to Grimmy for starting this thread. I am not up to contrubiting now but will at a later time. ~L~

Thanks for all the great recipes! It will be fun to try some new ones. Here is one of our favorite crockpot recipes.

NOTES : Apple juice can be substituted for the beer. In my crockpot, 7 hours on low left the meat falling apart and very tender. Enjoy!

dd, betcha that would work with a pork roast too although less cooking time,doncha think? I used to make beef tournados all the time but it's been a while. The flank steak takes a good half hour to prep with the trimming and the pounding and the seasoning. Then the cooking of the bacon and layering with crushed garlic and fresh parsley. I have one recipe that sounds so silly but is always a hit at parties as a horsdeurve(sp?). A jar of good,crisp,fat dill pickles. A pkg. of cream cheese,set aside a tablespoon worth. Tabasco sauce A package of thinly sliced boiled ham,rectangular slices Fresh, coarsely ground pepper A tablespoon or so of good thick honey

Mix up the cream cheese with honey,tabasco and ground pepper. Just a healthy squirt of the tabasco..too much thins the cheese so it won't harden when re-chilled. When the mixture is reasonably spreadable,lay out one slice of ham and spread it to within an inch of the ends with a thin layer of the cheese mixture. Grind pepper over the mixture. Place the pickle at one end of the ham and roll it up using a bit of the reserved cream cheese on the far end to "glue" the ham sealed around the pickle. Repeat with the rest of the pickles and then put them in the fridge for an hour or so to re-harden the cheese. Remove from fridge and quickly slice the roll-ups with a very sharp knife into 1/4" slices. Place on a tray you have lined with lettuce leaves (or they stick to the tray) and return them to the fridge until ready to serve. It's the most wonderful combination of flavors, hot-salty-sweet-sour. I've experimented with substituting pre-sweetened Koolaid mix(red) for the honey (when I messed up and put in too much honey and tabasco and the cheese mix wouldn't re-harden). Colorful and tasty but I like the subtle honey against the pepper and tabasco better. Always have a small chunk of plain cream cheese in reserve to thicken the mix as well as glue the ham closed around the pickle. BTW, dry off the pickles before wrapping.

Hi all,

Dottie: Yes, I bet a pork roast would be really good with the fruit! I'll have to try that. This is so funny that you gave that party recipe! I have been making that for years and I don't cut them. I take them diving with me instead of a sandwich! Absolutely adore them. Somehow our family started calling them "herkleburgers"! Yum, now I want one!
