Ingredients
- 24 to 48 ounces bone-in beef rib eye steaks (four steaks, 6-8 ounce each, cut 1 1/2 inches thick, or your favorite steaks)
- 4 yellow onions (cut into 1/16th or 1/8th inch rings)
- 3 cups milk
- All-purpose flour (sifted, 3 cups)
- 1/2 cup chile powder
- 2 tablespoons corn starch (plus 2 teaspoons corn starch)
- 3 teaspoons salt
- 3 teaspoons ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons paprika (hot)
- Vegetable oil for deep frying
- Salt and pepper
- Salsa
How to Make
-
Step 1: Bring the steaks to room temperature.
-
Step 2: Soak onions in milk in a large bowl for one hour, drain.
-
Step 3: In a bowl mix together the dry ingredients (flour - paprika).
-
Step 4: Dredge onions in flour mixture; shaking off excess.
-
Step 5: Heat oil in skillet until it reaches 360 degrees F. Add onions in batches, cooking until golden brown (about a minute or so for each batch); transfer to paper towels using a slotted spoon; drain well.
-
Step 6: Meanwhile season the steaks with salt and pepper and place in a cast iron or other heavy skillet (we use a grill pan - but these can be cooked on the grill for Father's Day) over medium high heat. Cook to desired doneness (5-10 minutes per side); pour off excess fat before turning. These can be finished off on a grill if desired.
-
Step 7: Transfer steaks to plates and serve with onion rings and salsa.
