1/2 teaspoon pepper
1-1/2 pounds beef top round steak or beef cubed steaks, thinly sliced

Our family gatherings simply wouldn't be complete without these finger-licking good steak snacks. Two weeks before the party, I make and freeze a double batch to fry up the day of. —Barbara Radden, Belleville, Illinois
