  1. These onion rings are totally fabulous-they really were the star of the show, and set the steak off beautifully!<br/>Made for PRMR.
     
  2. What a great meal. The onion rings were the key. Combine them with the perfectly cooked steak and you've got a great combination. We grilled our rib eye steaks on the grill. I also cut the onion recipe in half (Just me and DH would be eating them) I thought the amount of chili powder was going to be to much, but combined with everything else, it was perfect. Thanks for sharing. Made for PRMR- June 2010
     
  3. These were really good. I followed the recipe exactly as written and everyone enjoyed these.
     
  4. Wonderful. We had unexpected company so I only got about a fourth of my steak, but you can bet your boots I got my share of the onion rings. The combination of spices was right on. I cut my onions thin and they came out really crispy. Loved them. Thanks ellie for another wonderful 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>
