- Season the Beef Ribs:
- Season the beef ribs with salt and black pepper, ensuring each piece is well coated.
- Prepare the Coating Mixture:
- In a shallow dish, combine the all-purpose flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Mix well to create the coating mixture.
- Coat the Ribs:
- Dredge each beef rib in the coating mixture, ensuring that the ribs are well coated on all sides. Shake off any excess flour.
- Heat Vegetable Oil:
- In a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven, heat enough vegetable oil for frying over medium-high heat. The oil should be around 350°F (180°C).
- Fry the Ribs:
- Carefully place the coated beef ribs into the hot oil, a few pieces at a time. Fry until the ribs are golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes per side.
- Monitor Temperature:
- Keep an eye on the oil temperature and adjust the heat as needed to maintain it around 350°F (180°C). This helps ensure the ribs cook evenly and achieve a crispy exterior.
- Drain and Rest:
- Once the ribs are done, use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels. Allow them to drain and rest for a few minutes.
- Serve:
- Serve the fried beef ribs hot, and enjoy them with your favorite dipping sauce or as a stand-alone dish.
These fried beef ribs are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, making them a delightful treat. You can serve them with coleslaw, potato wedges, or any other side dishes you prefer.
