Ingredients

• 1 egg
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• ¼ cup buttermilk
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 4 cups vegetable oil for frying
• 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
• 3 ½ teaspoons seasoned salt
• ¼ cup dark beer
• 1 tablespoon hot pepper sauce (such as Frank's RedHot®)
• 2 pounds flat iron steaks

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Whisk the flour, 3 1/2 teaspoons seasoned salt, and black pepper together in a mixing bowl; set aside. Beat the egg in a separate mixing bowl, then mix in the buttermilk, beer, and hot pepper sauce until smooth; set aside. Cut the steak into strips 1/2-inch wide by 3- to 4-inches long. Place into a mixing bowl, and toss with the remaining 1 teaspoon of seasoned salt.

Step 3

Gently press the steak strips into the flour to coat and shake off the excess flour. Place the steak strips into the beaten egg, then toss in the flour again. Gently toss the strips between your hands so the excess flour can fall away. Place onto a baking sheet, and freeze until solid, about 4 hours.

Step 4

Fry the frozen steak strips in small batches (5 to 7 at a time) until the breading is golden brown, and the beef has cooked to your desired degree of doneness, about 5 minutes for medium-well.
