Grilled Rib-eyes and Fried Onion Rings
"A great meal for men and everyone else who loves thick rib eyes and onion rings. The only thing needed for a complete meal is french fries (or baked potatoes) and/or a tossed salad with apple pie and ice cream for dessert--comfort man-sized meal at its best! Recipe adapted from: Bon Appetit (September 2004)."

What more can I say except... "THE BOMB"! The steaks were wonderfully seasoned, but the onion rings stole the show. I usually stink at trying to make them... but I had success with these (although my one sacrificial ring bit the dust at the start). I think I may try double dredging them next time to put a 2nd coating on them before frying. Either way they were great! The nice part about our dinner was that, although I seasoned the steaks, hubby manned the grill and didn't burn them. Yahoo! I served this meal along with Recipe #352906 and a arugula salad. Thank you so much for posting this recipe. (Made for PRMR) -
Oh these are wonderful! The onion rings turned out perfectly and the steaks are to die for! I did have to sub delmonicos for the steaks since my store didn't have the ribeyes. My DH loved his Father's Day dinner! -
Just loved this combination!! I love onions with my steak, but usually I have the sauteed onions so this was a wonderful change. It is so flavorful and loved the added crunch from the onion coating!! Definitely will be a repeat on special occasions or for company. It was also very easy with using my mini deep fryer. Thanks for sharing the recipe. Made for Rookie Recipe Tag Game. -
Delicious! Steak and onions make a great combo and this recipe does not disappoint. Made for 2 as directed. As a steak sauce (per say), I used recipe #453637 and it melted over the hot steaks, taking it over the top! Simple to prepare, this was a delicious dinner. Thanks for sharing the recipe. :) -
Absouletly the best steaks and onion rings we have had in a very long time. YUM! Since it's just the two of us at home, we only had two ribeye steaks, I halved the recipe to make a basket of onion rings in the deep fryer. They were wonderful and the flavor of the steaks was just outstanding. Thanks so much for sharing the recipe! :)

<p>I love cooking and trying different foods, but my favorite cookbooks are now Weight Watchers or low fat/low cal cookbooks as I tend to try and make low fat/low cal recipes. I lost over 90 pounds on Weight Watchers and have maintained for over a year now -- so my cooking/eating habits have changed drastically following my weight loss and to keep it off!</p>
