Texas Roadhouse Cactus Blossom Recipe
This tasty appetizer is served at Texas Roadhouse, but it is also easy to make at home! In the restaurant’s copycat recipe, both the batter and the spicy dipping sauce are used. The onion in this dish is no longer just a basic ingredient, but an altogether stunning dish! Most importantly, it goes perfectly with our rib-eye steak.
Ingredients
- 6 yellow onions Large
- 5 cups vegetable oil
For Batter:
- 3 cups Cornstarch
- 1 1/2 cups Cake flour

- Drain using a paper towel. Arrange the onion upright on a shallow plate. Drizzle each serving with one cup of sauce.
