Categories: Beef- main dish

Ingredients

• 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup cornstarch
• 1 Tbsp. garlic powder
• 1 Tbsp. onion powder
• 2 tsp. baking powder
• Salt and ground black pepper
• 1/2 tsp. ground red pepper (cayenne)
• 4 eggs
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1 lb. sirloin steak tips, trimmed and cut into 4 (4oz.) pieces
• 1 1/2 cups peanut or vegetable oil

Directions

1. Whisk flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, baking p, 1 tsp. salt, 2 tsp. black pepper and the cayenne in a large bowl. Transfer 1 cup of the seasoned flour mixture to a shallow dish.
2. Beat eggs in a second shallow dish.
3. Add milk to the bowl with the remaining flour mixture. Using your fingers, rub until mixture resembles coarse meal.
4. Season steaks with salt and pepper. Score meat lightly in a crosshatch pattern, or pound very lightly with the rough side of a meat mallet. Dredge steaks in seasoned flour. Use the smooth side of the meat mallet to pound steaks to 1/4 inch thick.
5. One at a time, coat steaks in seasoned flour again, dip in egg mixture, then transfer to the bowl with the milk-flour mixture, pressing to adhere.
6. Refrigerate steaks, 15 minutes to 4 hours. Reserve milk and flour mixture.
7. heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat until just smoking. Return 2 steaks to the bowl with the milk and flour mixture and turn to coat. Fry 2 steaks until golden brown and crisp, 2 to 3 minutes, per side. Repeat with remaining steaks.
