Cowboy Steak

Created by ellie on February 22, 2015

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

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.
