DIRECTIONS

Cut the onion into 1 inch rings and smoke for 10 minutes with Hickory wood. After smoking, immerse in barbecue sauce and let simmer for 10 minutes.

In a small bowl, mix the cumin, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, black pepper, and sugar. Set aside 2 tablespoons of spice mix to blend with the bread crumbs. Then, liberally season the steak and let set at room temperature. Take 3 mixing bowls and fill them with the flour, eggs, and seasoned bread crumbs.

When cool, remove the onion rings and coat with flour, dip in the egg, and bread with the seasoned bread crumbs. Fry at 375 degrees. As the onion rings are frying, grill the steak to your liking. Then, serve steak and onion rings together.
