Fried Beef Ribs

Prep Time:30 minutes Cook Time: 45 minutes Servings: 4 minutes

A German-inspired dish where beef is marinated in vinegar and spices, then slow-cooked until tender. Served with rich gravy—perfect over mashed potatoes or noodles.

Ingredients:
  • 3 quarts peanut oil for frying
  • 2 tablespoons salt
  • 3 tablespoons coarse ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons cayenne pepper 2 tablespoons garlic salt
  • 2 tablespoons onion salt 2 cups all-purpose flour 6 eggs, beaten
  • 6 pounds beef ribs, cut into single rib pieces
Directions:
  1. Heat the oil in a deep-fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  2. In a medium bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, garlic salt, and onion salt. Place the flour in a separate bowl or plate. Whisk eggs in a large bowl. Rub the spice mixture onto all of the ribs. Dip each rib in egg, then in flour, then egg, then flour again.
  3. Place the ribs in a fryer basket so they are not crowded, try 4 or 5 at a time depending on the size of your fryer. Cook for about 8 minutes. Remove to paper towels to drain. Continue with remaining ribs.
