Onion Rings are a big favorite around here.
I always make the Beer Battered Onion Rings.
These take a little time to prepare but are so worth the effort.
Enjoy!

4 eggs, beaten
1 cup milk
1 cup beer
4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
vegetable oil or shortening for frying
4 extra large onions, sliced into rings � inch thick
Kosher salt to taste

Mix together the eggs, milk, and beer in a bowl.
In each of two other bowls mix together 2 cups flour and 1 teaspoon baking powder.
Heat oil in a large heavy pot to 350 to 400 degrees.
Dip the onion rings into the egg mixture and then the first bowl of flour.
Redip in the egg mixture and then the second bowl of flour.
Add onion rings to the hot oil a few at a time.

Grilled Flank Steak

One of my favorite cuts of beef is flank steak.
It is easy to prepare and I have never had a complaint when I serve it up
for dinner to my family or friends. The recipe below uses a simple marinade,
but one of my favorite ways to serve it is to simply sprinkle both sides with salt
and pepper, grill it and serve with BBQ sauce on the side for dipping
the steak in. Enjoy!

1 flank steak
1/3 cup soy sauce
3 to 4 tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce
3 to 4 tablespoons vegetable oil
garlic powder or garlic salt

Sprinkle the steak with the garlic salt or powder on both sides.
Combine the soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and vegetable oil.
Pour over the steak and marinate for around 8 hours in refrigerator, turning often.
Remove steak and cook on the grill over medium heat, about 4 minutes per side for rare.
Slice thin across the grain and serve.
