One of the most recognized garnishes from Texas Roadhouse is the cactus blossom. The restaurant uses them as eye-catching garnishes for many items on their menu, including their famous steak dinners. I recently took some time to make my own version at home and was quite surprised by how easy it was to do.
The recipe is for those who cannot find one in stores or want to avoid having to purchase a single flower. This recipe makes an easy substitute while preserving its authenticity. So have a look below.

- Prepare The Seasoned Flour: First. You have to combine all the Seasoned Flour ingredients in a bowl, whisk to combine, and set aside.
- Prepare The Chili Sauce: Then combine all the ingredients in another bowl, mix it nicely, and set aside.
- Prepare the onions: Next, you have to cut each onion into vertical wedges. Be careful not to cut through the onion to keep the bottom intact. Separate the layer slowly and remove the onion core.
- Prepare The Batter: Take a large bowl and add the cornstarch, flour, garlic salt, paprika, salt, and pepper. Whisk it to combine. Add in the beer and mix until well-combined.
- Fry The Onions: Then take onions and coat them with seasoned flour. After that dip them in the batter. Shake softly to remove excess batter. Heat up the oil and fry the onions for 1½ minutes on each side. Until both sides are golden brown.
