Trim any excess fat from the steaks and cut them into manageable portions if needed (4-6 ounces each is ideal).
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.
In a large stockpot or deep fryer, heat vegetable oil to 375°F (190°C). Use a frying thermometer to maintain a consistent temperature.
Carefully skewer each piece of steak onto the tines of a clean metal pitchfork, ensuring they are secure but not overcrowded.
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.
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.
Repeat the frying process for any remaining steak pieces, reheating the oil between batches as needed.
Optional: Top the hot steaks with a pat of unsalted butter and sprinkle with chopped parsley for extra flavor.
Serve immediately while hot with your favorite sides, such as baked potatoes, coleslaw, or a fresh green salad.
