Finger Steaks
Purportedly invented by Milo Bybee in Boise, Idaho in 1957, finger steaks usually consist of strips of beef steak that are battered and deep-fried in hot oil. The finger steaks can be served as a snack or an appetizer, and it is recommended to accompany them with french fries, fry sauce (ketchup and mayonnaise), or a cocktail sauce made with a combination of lemon juice, chili sauce, and horseradish.
Although this dish was invented in the 1950s, it was at the height of its popularity during the 1970s, but it is still a popular bar snack throughout Idaho.

WHERE TO EAT The best Finger Steaks in the world (according to food experts)
"They're the crack cocaine of fried beef. It's everything perfect about French fries, fried chicken and steak at once."
"The meat was tender, and despite the deep-fried breading it was still a little pink inside. Since I like my steak medium-rare, this was perfect. The breading was crunchy and very salty, with flecks of pepper visible. It was heavily seasoned, but in a good way. I liked the finger steaks a lot."
"People usually stop at Trudy's for a slice of one of the award-winning pies, but this little roadside restaurant also makes a really good finger steak dinner."
