Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, marinate the round steak in the barbecue sauce for a few hours before cutting it into strips. If you're out of salad oil, vegetable oil or canola oil can be used as a substitute. To make it a bit spicier, consider adding a dash of cayenne pepper or using a spicier barbecue sauce. This dish is a great way to use leftover steak from other beef recipes.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the barbecue steak fingers with a side of crispy potato skins supreme or coleslaw for a complete meal. They also pair well with cornbread or a fresh garden salad. For a heartier option, serve them alongside meat and potatoes casserole. Don't forget to drizzle extra barbecue sauce on top for added flavor!
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover barbecue steak fingers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place them in a skillet over medium heat with a splash of water to keep them moist, or microwave them briefly, covered, until warmed through. Avoid overheating to prevent them from becoming tough.
