Ingredients

• 2 lbs Ribeye or sirloin steak (1-inch thick)
• 2 tsp Salt
• 1 tsp Black pepper
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 1 tsp Paprika
• 1 gallon Vegetable oil (or canola oil, for frying)
• 4 tbsp Unsalted butter (optional, for serving)
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Trim any excess fat from the steaks and cut them into manageable portions if needed (4-6 ounces each is ideal).

Step 2

Season both sides of the steaks generously with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Let them rest at room temperature for 10 minutes to absorb the seasoning.

Step 3

In a large stockpot or deep fryer, heat vegetable oil to 375°F (190°C). Use a frying thermometer to maintain a consistent temperature.

Step 4

Carefully skewer each piece of steak onto the tines of a clean metal pitchfork, ensuring they are secure but not overcrowded.

Step 5

Lower the pitchfork with the steaks slowly into the hot oil. Allow the steaks to fry for 3-5 minutes, depending on your preferred doneness (3 minutes for medium-rare, 5 minutes for medium). Work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pot.

Step 6

Once cooked, lift the pitchfork out of the oil and let the steaks drain for a few seconds. Carefully remove the steaks from the pitchfork onto a plate lined with paper towels.

Step 7

Repeat the frying process for any remaining steak pieces, reheating the oil between batches as needed.

Step 8

Optional: Top the hot steaks with a pat of unsalted butter and sprinkle with chopped parsley for extra flavor.

Step 9

Serve immediately while hot with your favorite sides, such as baked potatoes, coleslaw, or a fresh green salad.
