If I had a photo, I would most certainly use it. That is... unless the photo I have sucks. For now, you'll just have to picture a big heaping helping of
1/2 cup potato starch, or 1 cup flour if you don’t have and that’s just fine
1 teaspoon Kosher salt
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon each cayenne, garlic powder and
1 egg, beaten
1 boneless rib eye
For the hot oil:
1/4 cup cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon smoked paprika (regular is fine)
1 tablespoon chipotle chili powder (regular is fine)
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Oil, for frying
Directions
Fill either a deep fryer with oil, or a large cast iron pan about 1/3 of the way up the sides and heat to 350 degrees
Combine steak dry ingredients in one bowl and mix until well combined, and the beaten egg in a second bowl
Put all the hot oil ingredients into a small pot and set aside
Put the steak, into the flour making sure it’s well coated on all sides, shake off excess then dip into the egg making sure it’s covered, remove, let excess drip off then back into the flour to be well coated
Shake off excess, then carefully put into the oil - cook on both sides until approximately 125 degrees - 6-8 minutes - remove to a rack or plate with a couple paper towels and let rest
While it does, add about a cup of the cooking oil to the small pot and mix well
To serve, brush both sides of the cooked steak well with the hot oil sauce
