Ingredients

1 egg

2 cups buttermilk

2 tablespoons grill seasoning, such as McCormick Montreal Steak Seasoning

1 1/2 pounds boneless beef sirloin steak, cut into 2 1/2 x 1/4 inch strips

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons garlic powder

salt and pepper to taste

3 cups canola oil for deep frying

Directions

1. Beat together the egg, buttermilk, grill seasoning, and 1/2 cup of flour in a large bowl until smooth. Add the beef, and toss until well coated. Cover with plastic wrap, and place into the refrigerator to marinate at least 2 hours.

2. Sift 2 1/2 cups flour with the garlic powder, salt, and pepper into a large bowl. Remove steak strips from buttermilk batter and allow excess to drip off. Dredge each piece with seasoned flour and place onto a baking sheet. Place in the freezer and freeze until firm, 1 hour to overnight.

3. Heat oil to 370 degrees F (185 degrees C) in a deep fryer or cast iron skillet.

4. Drop a few frozen steak pieces into the hot oil and fry until golden brown on the outside, about 5 minutes. Do not overcrowd the frying oil, and do not allow the steak strips to thaw before they are fried. Once golden brown, remove to drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

We have a small bistro in our town and they make this as an appetizer - a huge plate that 2 people have trouble eating by themselves. I love it but I have to have blue cheese dressing, please!
Wonderful post and high 5!

We opened up a wings restaurant 5 weeks ago, and this looks like something that could end up on the menu. Considering my title is dessert manager/mad scientist, the fried beef is right on target. Thanks for sharing!!
