Grilled Steakhouse Onions with Copycat Bloomin Onions Sauce
Grilled Steakhouse Onions with Copycat Bloomin Onion Sauce take everything you like about a steakhouse appetizer and turn it into a full, hearty bite.
Ingredients
- 4 small sweet onions peeled
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 3 slices bacon
- 6 ounce steak any cut, chopped
- 1/4 cup barbecue sauce
- salt and ground black pepper for seasoning
For the sauce:
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1/2 tablespoon prepared horseradish sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon granulated garlic
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon EACH salt and pepper
Instructions
- Using a sharp paring knife, cut the top off the onions and then cut a cavity inside, being careful not to cut through the walls or bottom.
- Chop about a cup of the onion that was removed from the top and center.
- In a skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the bacon and cook until crispy, remove from the pan. Add the butter, chopped steak, and onions and cook just until browned. Add the bacon back to the pan along with the bbq sauce and stir everything together. Divide the meat mixture evenly among the onions.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Set up the grill for indirect grilling and preheat to medium. Place a large drip pan in the center of the “indirect heat” zone you’re going to be cooking on.
- Form 4 rings out of tinfoil and place those on the drip pan. Set the onions on the rings so they won’t topple over. Cover the grill. Cook until the onions are golden brown and tender, 40 to 60 minutes, depending on size.
- Note: If the filling is browning too much and the onions are not done yet, tent them with foil. To check for doneness, gently squeeze the side of the onion. It should be squishable and soft.
- For the sauce, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, horseradish, garlic, smoked paprika, oregano, salt and pepper. Mix until well combined. Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes before serving.
- Transfer the grilled onions to a platter or plate to serve with the sauce.
