Outback Steakhouse Bloomin' Onion

really fluffy and crispy batter! used less than 18oz of beer. was pretty good, but will definately up the spices and salt next time, was alittle bland for us. chili sauce was good too, make it a day ahead of time is best in my opinion. thanks for a great supper side!

These were good, but did not taste like Outback's onion at all. They were not nearly as spicy. That being said, we did like them. I cut my onions up and made these as onion petals instead of a whole onion.

Loved it, perfect. Not a single complaint. And yes ... letting them sit in cold water seriously works wonders. I also did mushrooms (buttons) the same way the the same sauce. Sauce batter too. Equally as good. IT WAS A FRY night, can't you tell. We did wings too. I did have veggies though, it offset all the bad frying. But ... IT WAS so tasty! Thanks for an easy good very accurate recipe.

The sauce was SPOT ON! Tastes just like(if not BETTER) Outback's, We only used half the beer to make the batter for the onion and I doubled the flour and put some more Cannyee in it. The first batch we made like the first recipe calls for and it didnt come out well, I learned that if you double the flour and pepper and add approx 9 oz of beer it comes out better. It was hard to get the entire onion covered so next time we may just try making onion rings so it's easier. All in all this is a great recipe and I will be making this agian and agian!

I don't know what i'm doing wrong. I have tried at least 5 bloomin' onion recipes and techniques. I can't seem to get it right. I bought a bloomin' onion cutter. The raw onion looks beautiful but then when it comes to frying it...i literally destroy it. This batter seems tasty with what I was able to salvage out of my onion. I can't fault the recipe for my failure.

pretty good for my first time! i havent tried making the chili sauce, i will next time but i did make the outback sauce which was really good, i added a little more ketchup and cayenne to my sauce and batter to make it spicier, i also added lawrys seaoning salt to my batter as well for more flavor since many ppl below said it was somewhat bland. soaking the onions in the water does make it open better.

We thought the sauce was 'spot on'! You definitely need to let it sit for a few hours to get the true taste. I too made onion petals which are easier but they do take longer to make since you have to fry them in batches. We really enjoyed them but we didn't feel the breading was quite the right texture as the Outbacks and they also weren't as spicy. HOWEVER, they were really, really good! Next time I won't use all the beer. I think that is why the batter was so thin and crisp compared to the Outback's. I'll also use some cayenne in the batter. Definitely delicious and a fantastic appetizer!! Thanks DiB's!

I made up the sauce for a great zippy dip option. Next time I'll try the onion too.

I have tried many recipes for Bloomin' Onions and Onion Rings. This is, by far, the BEST recipe! Instead of making rings or a blooming onion, I cut the onion into "petals". They taste great this way and there is little to no mess. Thanks for a great recipe!
