Try This Texas Roadhouse Steak Order If You Love The Cactus Blossom - Tasting Table

"A whole onion cut into a flower-like shape, battered, deep-fried, and served with a cup of tasty dipping sauce, it's a fan favorite for a reason. If you can't get enough crispy Cactus Blossom goodness, try ordering your go-to Texas Roadhouse steak with extra fixings that will make it taste similar to your favorite appetizer."

"Cajun Horseradish is the unique sauce that comes with Texas Roadhouse's Cactus Blossom. The Cajun part presumably refers to the smoky spices in the mayo-based dip - several copycat recipes use cayenne pepper and chili sauce in addition to horseradish, creating a creamy sauce with a dose of invigorating heat."

"Cover your steak with the onions, then pour the sauce over the top (or neatly dip every bite if you prefer), and you'll have a rich, beefy, spicy, onion-heavy meal that combines two of their most iconic dishes."

Texas Roadhouse's Cactus Blossom appetizer—a whole onion battered and deep-fried with Cajun horseradish dipping sauce—is a popular menu item. To recreate this flavor on a steak, customers can request a side of Cajun horseradish sauce and sautéed onions to place on top of their entrée. The Cajun horseradish is a mayo-based sauce containing cayenne pepper and chili sauce alongside horseradish, creating a creamy, spicy condiment. Sautéed onions provide caramelized flavor similar to the fried Cactus Blossom. Leaner steak cuts like the Dallas filet or sirloin pair particularly well with these toppings, as the sauce and onions add richness and flavor to the lower-fat meat.
