Step by Step Method

Step 1

Season each side of the steak with 1 teaspoon of the seasoned salt.

Step 2

Combine the flour, the remaining seasoned salt and pepper in a small bowl and mix well.

Step 3

Combine the the buttermilk, beer, egg and hot sauce in another bowl and whisk to combine.

Step 4

Cut the steak into half-inch wide strips that are about 3-4 inches long. Dredge the steak strips in the flour mixture, then into the egg batter, then back into the flour.

Step 5

Put the battered strips in a flat rimmed container pan and freeze for 4 hours or so (this helps keep the batter intact when you fry them).

Step 6

Heat oil in a deep-fryer to 350 degrees. Deep fry the frozen steaks in small batches (5-7 at a time) until golden brown, and keep them warm in a 175 degree oven on a rack or sheet pan.
