Cowboy Steaks With Onions


Serve these bad boys with a side of yucca fries (yucca fries (yuca) recipe #153368) for a bona fide foot stompin' good meal! Adapted from steven raichlen. Wine: the chili rub and charred onions shout out for an equally zesty california zinfandel. Look for such peppery, fruity examples as the amici cellars 2002 or a 1997 alexander valley or even the 2003 eos.

Steps


Combine chile powder , cayenne , cumin and oregano with 1 tablespoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper.
Rub the steaks all over with the spice mixture and place on a platter until they come to room temperature.
Light the grill or set oven to broil and place rack on top level.
Lightly oil a broiling pan and place in oven to heat.
Brush the onions with oil and season with salt and black pepper.
If using a grill put onions over the hot fire until charred , about 8 minutes.
If broiling , set aside.
Grill the steaks over the hot fire for 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium rare or broil the steaks 6-7 minutes a side on heated broiling pan along with oil coated onions.
Place steaks on plates and top with the onions.
Serve yucca fries (yucca fries recipe #153368) on the side.
