From the episode: A Family Restaurant at War (McLanks)

SERVES 2

YOU’LL NEED
8 oz brisket burnt ends (see sub recipe)
(to enjoy this recipe without smoking a brisket from scratch, try small cubes of ribeye or strip steak)
12 meat ravioli
2 eggs
1 cup all-purpose flour
Salt
Pepper
1 cup bread crumbs
1 cup BBQ sauce
Grapeseed oil, for frying
2 green onions

MAKE IT
1) Blanch the raviolis so they are soft, then cool them off.
2) Into three separate bowls add flour, bread crumbs and whisked eggs. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to each.
3) Dip the raviolis first in the flour, then the egg, then the bread crumbs and set aside.
4) Cube the burnt ends and toss in BBQ sauce.
5) Put enough oil into a cast iron skillet that would submerge the ravioli. Heat it to 350 degrees, then fry the raviolis until they are golden brown. Remove, drain on paper towels, then place in serving bowls.
6) In a skillet, add the diced burnt ends and heat over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes.
7) Add the burnt ends to the raviolis in a bowl and toss. Portion into serving bowls and garnish with green onion.
