How to Make Venison Steak Strips

  1. Cut 1 lb of steak (venison, beef, or chicken) into 1/2-inch wide strips, trimming excess fat.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the marinade: 1/4 cup lime juice, 2 tablespoons chipotle chili sauce (adjust to your spice preference), 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, and salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Add steak strips to the marinade and let soak for at least 1 hour (or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator).
  4. In a gallon-sized ziploc bag, combine 1 cup all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning, 1 tablespoon paprika, and 1 teaspoon black pepper.
  5. Add steak strips to the flour mixture, a handful at a time. Seal the bag and shake until the meat is fully coated.
  6. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add 1/2 inch of vegetable oil. The oil is hot enough when a small pinch of flour sizzles immediately.
  7. Shake off excess flour from the steak strips. Fry in batches for approximately 2 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Add more oil as needed.
  8. Place cooked strips on a wire rack or paper towels to drain excess oil.
