Let's fire up the grill and get started!
Ingredients
2 large sweet onions, cut into thick rings
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cornmeal
1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
1/2 cup butter, melted
The Sear Makes the Steak, And Arteflame Makes the Sear
Why settle for low-temperature searing when you can achieve steakhouse-quality results with an Arteflame? Gas grills take longer, drying out your steak, while the Arteflame sears at 1000°F in just one minute, locking in juices for perfection.
Light the paper and wait about 20 minutes for the grill to heat up.
Step 2: Prepare the batter
In a large bowl, mix the flour, cornmeal, and all the seasonings.
Pour the buttermilk into a separate bowl.
Step 3: Coat the onion rings
Dip each onion ring into the buttermilk, ensuring it is fully coated.
Dredge the onion ring in the seasoned flour mixture.
Shake off any excess coating and set aside.
Step 4: Grill the onion rings
Grease the Arteflame's flat cooktop with melted butter.
Place the coated onion rings on the flat top near the hotter center.
Grill for about 3-4 minutes on each side, flipping carefully with tongs.
Move them to a slightly cooler zone as they crisp up.
Step 5: Serve and enjoy
Once golden brown and crispy, remove from the grill.
Serve immediately with a side of your favorite dipping sauce.
1,000°F Sear for Steakhouse-Quality Perfection
Only The Arteflame’s center grill grate reaches 1,000°F, delivering the intense heat needed to sear steaks to perfection while keeping the inside juicy and as rare as you like it.
Use sweet onions for a natural mild sweetness that balances the spice.
For extra crispiness, double dip the onion rings in the buttermilk and flour mixture.
Cook close to the center for maximum heat, but watch closely to prevent overcooking.
Grill in batches to prevent overcrowding and ensure even cooking.
