Instructions
  1. Measure the flour, 5 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper, and cayenne into a large shallow dish.
  2. In a second large shallow dish, beat the egg, baking powder, and baking soda; stir in the buttermilk (the mixture will bubble and foam).
  3. Set a wire rack over a rimmed baking sheet.
  4. Pat the steaks dry with paper towels and sprinkle each side with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Drop the steaks into the flour and shake the pan to coat. Shake excess flour from each steak, then, using tongs, dip the steaks into the egg mixture, turning to coat well and allowing the excess to drip off.
  6. Coat the steaks with flour again, shake off the excess, and place them on the wire rack.
  7. Preheat a food warmer or oven to 200˚F.
  8. Line a large plate with a double layer of paper towels.
  9. Preheat a deep fryer to 350˚F.
  10. Place three steaks in the oil and fry, until deep golden brown on each side, about 5 minutes.
  11. Transfer the steaks to the paper towel-lined plate to drain, then transfer them to the wire rack in the warmer or oven.
