Preparation

1. 1.
   In a large bowl, combine the beef ribs and Bashkir spice blend. Mix well to ensure the ribs are evenly coated. Let them marinate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for a more intense flavor.

   In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add the cold water while whisking until a smooth batter is formed.

   Dip each marinated beef rib into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow any excess batter to drip off.

   Carefully place the coated ribs into the hot oil, one at a time, and fry until golden brown and crispy, approximately 5-7 minutes per side.

   Once cooked, transfer the crispy Bashkir beef ribs to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

   Serve the ribs hot and crispy, alongside your favorite Bashkir side dishes.
