Oh TY very much, but I saved the image of the original recipe and copied
the updated recipe link from the article:

https://www.idbeef.org/recipes/home-...tside-favorite

INGREDIENTS
€’ 2 1/2 cups flour, divided

€’ 4 teaspoons black pepper, divided

€’ 1 tablespoon, plus 2 teaspoons granulated garlic, divided

€’ 1 tablespoon seasoning salt

€’ 1/2 cup cornstarch

€’ 1 tablespoon chicken bouillon powder

€’ 2 teaspoons baking powder

€’ 2 cups water

€’ 1 pound beef shoulder tender, cut into 1/2-inch by 3-inch strips

€’ Vegetable shortening or high-heat oil, for deep frying

DIRECTIONS
1. Combine 1 cup flour, 2 teaspoons black pepper, 2 teaspoons granulated
garlic and seasoning salt. Set aside.

2. In large bowl, whisk together remaining flour, pepper, garlic,
cornstarch, bouillon powder and baking powder. Slowly pour in water,
whisking constantly, and mix until smooth. Stir in food color, if desired.

3. Fill small Dutch oven or wok with shortening to a depth of at least 2
inches. Heat over medium-high heat until it reads between 350Β°F to 375Β°F
with candy or deep-fry thermometer.

4. Coat beef strips in reserved seasoned flour, and shake off excess.
Dip strips individually in batter, let drip and carefully place into hot
oil. If necessary, cook in batches to avoid crowding. Cook for 30
seconds, turn and cook additional 30 seconds. Coating should be crisp
and deep golden.

5. Remove finger steaks with slotted spoon. Drain on paper towels. Serve
with cocktail sauce (recipe below).



WESTSIDE COCKTAIL SAUCE
€’ 1 cup chili sauce

€’ 1 tablespoon prepared horseradish

€’ 2 tablespoons lemon juice

Mix ingredients well, and refrigerate for up to three days.

I think the updated version sounds a bit better than the original, at
least for the dipping sauce.

What I wanted to read was why they can't get wait staff in Boise and why
their restaurants are closing.

How can this be with all those new Californicaters in town?

I guess Xiden truly did pay Hamerika to go on a year long vacay from werk.

Oh well supply chain woes are coming hard and fast for everyone now:

€œBuckle up. The month of May will be the worst people have ever seen,€
he predicted. Because some shippers will have to wait in line behind the
growing backlog in Asia, he expects €œwhats going to happen soon is that
some importers wont even be able to get on the boat. For them, it will
almost feel like trade is coming to a halt.€
